Duchess laughs off mishap, so does husband Prince William

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a formal ceremony at Aldershot over the weekend, to present shamrocks to members of the Irish Guards on St. Patrick’s day. It is then that the photo above was snapped – and it’s already gone viral.

As any woman probably knows already, high heels and grates rarely go together. Kate Middleton found that out as she stepped back and the heel of her black suede shoe became stuck in a grate.

She laughed it off and, with grace, reached for her husband’s arm (who was also laughing) and bent down to try and free the heel.

She was successful eventually.

The British media notes that their princess showed the world again how thrifty she is, by wearing the same coat she wore for last year’s ceremony as well. This time, though, it covered her growing baby bump.
