Traditionally members of the royal family will refuse to take a selfie and avoid them where possible. But during their Caribbean tour, a member of the Jamaican bobsleigh team pulled out a phone and took a selfie with the Duke and Duchess.

Despite being “trapped” in the bobsleigh at the time, body expert Judi Jones said the royals look “incredibly comfortable with the experience”.

Speaking on traditional royal protocols she said: “Royal status used to be all about space and height. A royal was expected to have a large space around them to imply an aura of specialness and to sit or stand higher than other people, hence the large throne seat.”
