The Princess of Wales has gone viral after a video showed her effortlessly walking backwards down aircraft stairs in four-inch stilettos during a visit to RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire on Thursday.
The 43-year-old royal climbed narrow stairs to peer inside the cockpit of a fully armed Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon before making her way back out of the plane, backwards. Fans commented on the HELLO! Instagram account, with one writing: 'Our HRH Princess Kate, perfection even walking backwards.'
During the trip, Kate used a flight simulator and performed a loop the loop. Group Captain Paul O'Grady said: '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.'
Kate, who was visiting the RAF station for the first time since becoming Royal Honorary Air Commodore, also met military families and revealed that her youngest son, Prince Louis, hopes to become a fighter pilot, but added: 'I'm going to tell them it takes eight years and a lot of hard work.'
