Duchess of Cambridge appears to be LEVITATING in this photo… and now David Cameron is doing it too
Last week it was Kate Middleton and now the Prime Minister has joined in on the floating act
A SNAP of Kate Middleton at the Somme anniversary celebrations has perplexed people because it looks like she's levitating and now there's one of David Cameron too.
Last week, the Duchess of Cambridge was captured at the 100th anniversary memorial event and the photo seems to show her gliding alongside the Duke of Cambridge, the Prime Minister and Prince Harry.
The mum of Prince George and Princess Charlotte appears to have a large gap of air between her matte black court shoes and the light coloured gravel.
But, if you zoom in a bit closer to the confusing picture, taken by photographer Chris Radburn, it's quite clear that the Kate has her feet firmly planted to the path.
On Friday, the Duchess of Cambridge was visiting the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Memorial in Thiepval, France.
The memorial pays tribute to over 72,000 missing British servicemen who gave their lives in the Battles of the Somme during the First World War between 1915 and 1918.
While this week, it seems as though David Cameron has taken a leaf out of Kate's book as he has also been snapped floating out of 10 Downing Street.
There looks to be a large gap of air between the Prime Minister's shiny black shoes and the pavement outside his central London home, making it seem as if he was flying into a car door.
But on closer inspection, it's fairly obvious that the photo is just a clever illusion and David's right leg is clearly planted on the ground.
While the rogue floating foot, which makes it look like he's hovering, actually belongs to the man on the Prime Minster's right hand side.
The Battle of the Somme - July 1, 1916
- After seven solid days of British bombardment, British, French and Commonwealth troops were ordered into a battle that many thought would signal the end of the First World War.
- But tragically, those who bravely climbed from the trenches were faced with a line of German machine gunners, firing bullets at them.
- Still to this day, it's remembered as being the bloodiest single day in British military history as 20,000 soldiers were mowed down while a further 40,000 were injured.
- More than a million soldiers from both sides had been killed and wounded in just four months and their incredible sacrifice is commemorated in both France and Britain.
