Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have spoken with Sir David Attenborough in a recently posted video.

In the clip, posted on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Twitter account, seven-year-old George asks, “Hi David Attenborough! Which animal do you think will go extinct next?”

Sir David, 94, replied: “Well, let’s hope there aren’t any, because there are a lot of things we can do when animals are in danger of extinction. We can protect them.”

Charlotte, age five, asked, “Hi David Attenborough! I like spiders, do you like spiders too?”

Sir David enthusiastically responded by saying that they are “wonderful things”, adding: “Why are people so afraid of them?”

The last to ask a question was two-year-old Louis, who asked (as best he could), “What animal do you like?”

For Sir David, the answer was nice and simple: “I think I like monkeys better.”

It’s rare to see George, Charlotte, and Louis on camera, and this is believed to be the first time they’ve all been heard talking together on video.

The new footage was released after Sir David paid a visit to the Cambridges last week, when he presented Prince George with a fossilized shark tooth.

Unbeknownst to the young royal, the present, which Sir David found on vacation in Malta in the 1960s, sparked a diplomatic dispute, with Maltese officials demanding his return to the island.
