George, Charlotte and Louis appear in a new video asking a special question for naturalist Sir David AttenboroughBy Simon PerryOctober 03, 2020 09:43 AM FBTweetMorePrince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and David Attenborough.
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis teamed up to make their first solo official royal duty in an adorable new video!
In the sweet exchange, the three little royals ask TV icon and naturalist, Sir David Attenborough, a question each — lending their young voices to help raise awareness to the challenges of the natural world.
First up is George, 7, who says, “Hello David Attenborough, What animal do you think will become extinct next?” Attenborough says he hopes that will not happen.
Following George’s confident and clear voice, comes Charlotte, 5, slightly nervy, asking, “Hello David Attenborough, I like spiders. Do you like spiders too?”
In one of the video’s most adorable moments, Louis, 2, asks the broadcaster what kind of animal he liked best, while showing off a sweet way of pronouncing the word animal.

For his part Attenborough follows up with child-friendly informative answers.
The video marks the first time that many people have heard the future heir and his siblings speak. A few spoken words have been captured in the past, such as when the children explored their mother Kate Middleton’s garden at Chelsea Flower Show last year. And crowds and onlookers at events like Charlotte’s royal christening and royal tours have enjoyed the odd snippet of George’s voice as he has grown up.
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are pleased to share a short video clip of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis each asking Sir David Attenborough a question about the natural world,” the palace said in a press release.
But this was a very different moment for royal fans to hear them speak clearly for the first time. And more significantly, it marks the children’s gentle immersion into royal duty, as the video was released via his parents’ Kensington Palace social media accounts.
The appearance is all part of an ongoing move to highlight the plight of the natural world. Last weekend, George’s parents Prince William and Kate Middleton released adorable images of the family in the garden at Kensington Palace meeting one of their favorite TV stars, Sir David, 94.

On that memorable occasion, George was given a fossilized tooth from a giant shark by Sir David — something that briefly caused controversy back in the Mediterranean island of Malta where the TV documentary maker had found it during a vacation in the 1960s.
