“It’s an inflatable, amphibious little contraption for youngsters,” the company’s chief executive, David Glen told The Times. “It is absolutely bespoke. It was finished yesterday - four weeks from conception to completion.”

The duke and duchess were astounded, he said. “They cannot wait for it to get to Kensington Palace. But they have to work out where to use it. The duchess said she regretted he was not here to give it a try now.”
