QuotePrince Andrew is in hysterics."What a stupid question!" he exclaims, roaring with laughter. I have merely asked what it was like to abseil 1,004ft down The Shard, a feat accomplished by the Queen's second (some say, favourite) son in 2012.
"No different to abseiling down something else that is tall, slippery and shiny," he guffaws.
I suppose if you have flown helicopters in the Falklands War, descending London's tallest skyscraper with only a harness and a hard hat for company is all in a day's work.
While he is flippant about it now, it was quite a leap of faith for the 54-year-old, coming just a year after a spectacular fall from grace.
