Prince helps after royal aide fall

Prince William has helped a royal aide back to his feet at a school after he fell over a bollard in full uniform.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were visiting Stewards Academy in Harlow in the company of Jonathan Douglas-Hughes, the vice lord-lieutenant of Essex, whose office represents the royals in the county.

A gasp went up from about 30 well-wishers as he landed on his back and he was
helped to his feet by William and others.

Mr Douglas-Hughes turned to William and said "Sorry about that", and the Duke
replied "No, it's all right."
