    But there were no such sensible outings for the young royal’s future hubby Mike Tindall, who instead enjoyed an action-packed stag do in Florida with pals.

    ‘Mike and his friends were having a complete no-holds-barred night, they were going wild,’ one onlooker told the Daily Mail.

    ‘Attractive girls joined them throughout the evening and there was a lot of flirting.

    ‘The boys were dancing on top of the table and the seats. Mike had left his card behind the bar – and even the barman seemed astonished at how much they managed to drink.’
