It’s safe to say “jokester” can be added to\u00a0Kate<\/strong> Middleton<\/strong><\/a>‘s titles.<\/p>\n

The Princess of Wales was greeting well-wishers after attending the royal family’s annual Christmas church service at Sandringham when a potential mishap turned into a lighthearted moment.<\/p>\n

While chatting with a member of the public who had gathered at the royal family’s private estate in Norfolk, as seen in a video published by The Sun<\/a>, a loud cracking sound came from a few people down. Kate immediately walked over to check on a man whose chair had broken, asking, “Are you OK?”<\/p>\n

The man laughed off the incident, saying, “I’m fine, thank you for caring. It’s all good.” Then, after Kate asked if the broken chair\u00a0was his seat, he explained, “It’s a little short, so I wanted to stand. It’s alright. I’m standing; I’m still standing.”<\/p>\n

The pair shared a laugh while Kate grabbed his arm before continuing to greet other people in the vicinity, but then the 43-year-old engaged one more time with the man, who joked that there might be a “weight limit” for the chair, adding that this was “before Christmas dinner.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s safe to say “jokester” can be added to\u00a0Kate Middleton‘s titles.
