KATE Middleton agreed to do that thing Prince William has been asking
her to do for months, but only if he landed a Chinook helicopter on her
parents’ lawn, it emerged last night.
Friends of the couple said the £30,000 stunt was ‘worth every penny’ if you knew what the thing actually was.
A source close to the Prince said: “It’s game on. William has kept his end of the bargain. This is a big test for their relationship.”
William is now said to be looking to forward to doing the thing, which his grandfather has assured him is, ‘even better than you think it’s going to be’.
It is understood the Prince first suggested doing the thing on his birthday last year, but was told there was absolutely no way it was going to happen.
One Royal insider said: “His pleading became very insistent. At one point he even claimed it was the ‘law of England’ and if she didn’t do it, she’d be thrown in a dungeon.
“But Kate stuck to her guns and said if he really wanted it he would have to get his RAF wings, land a helicopter on the lawn, wave to her parents and then take off again.”
The insider added: “I’m sure there are dozens of girls who would have been delighted to do this particular thing, but he’s been determined to do it with Kate.
“It shows a lot of character.”
