Duchess Kate subject of condom prank

According to one of the skippers Kate worked under, Cal Tomlinson, she undertook “backbreaking” work while in the role.

However, he did admit that Kate “mucked in” and was “very professional”.

One day, Kate’s colleagues decided to play a prank on her. The duchess was doing a safety demonstration for clients at the time.

Part of the demonstration was showing how the lifejackets worked.

Speaking to Katie Nicholl as part of her new book, Cal said: “When she pulled the toggle, the thing inflated and a load of condoms fell out.”
