A dignitary who fell over during an official visit to a school by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on Friday, was offered help by Britain’s Prince William.
The Duke, who works at the East Anglia Air Ambulance service, had just arrived and was greeting officials when Jonathan Douglas-Hughes, Vice Lord Lieutenant of Essex, the Queen’s representative in the county east of London, took a tumble.
The crowd of well-wishers gasped as he fell to the ground, dressed in military uniform and carrying a sword.
Prince William and another woman rushed to help Douglas-Hughes, who was reportedly unhurt, up from the pavement.
