Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Little Louis Meet the 94‑Year‑Old Naturalist
In an unexpected splash of royal whimsy, the little heirs to Britain’s throne popped up in a rare video clip last Saturday to chat with none other than David Attenborough.
The Family Gathers at Kensington Palace
At just 7, 5 and 2 years old, the gang – George, Charlotte and Louis – squeaked with curiosity in a setting that’s less “royal” and more “play‑time.” The footage, shot in the palace gardens a month ago, shows the trio earnestly probing the BBC legend about the wild world.
Questions That Even a 94‑Year‑Old Hearer Can’t Ignore
- George (in a bright red polo) asked, “Hello David Attenborough, what animal do you think will become extinct next?”
- Charlotte (dressed in grey) confessed, “I love spiders. Do you like them too?”
- Louis (the youngest) kept it simple: “What animal do you like?”
With the one‑liner from David: “It’s not just about what’s at risk; it’s about what you can do.” The royal children quickly understood that the adventurous conservation agenda might yet be part of their future.
Why It Matters – Beyond the Screen
When the family joined David for an outdoor screening of his climate‑focused documentary A Life On Our Planet, a symbolic link formed. The seasoned naturalist gifted George a fossilised shark tooth – a token of marine history.
Truth be told, the gift stirred a bit of diplomatic drama: Malta – the land where the tooth was unearthed – initially asked for its return. After a short back‑and‑forth, the Italian island gave the royal prince the green light to keep the relic.
Royal Eco‑Aspirations on the Horizon
With Prince William and Prince Charles already championing environmental causes, the young siblings are stepping into a green legacy. Their playful dialogue with David Attenborough today hints at a future where they might champion captivity, wildlife preservation, and climate action – all while keeping the royal charm alive.
