Kate was given the opportunity to step into the simulator. During this, she performed a loop-the-loop.
Group Captain Paul O’Grady said afterwards: “She seems to be a natural pilot so we might have to get her qualified and get her flying a Typhoon, if she’s up for it.”
However, it was one moment in particular during Kate’s visit that has wowed royal fans.
During the engagement, Kate was seen stepping down the steps from an aircraft. She was seen stepping backwards down the stairs in high heels!
