Move over Kate Middleton and Prince William because Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have taken to social media to show off their on-screen skills.

On Saturday, the Kensington Royal Instagram and Twitter accounts shared a sweet video of the three royal children posing questions to their family friend and historian Sir David Attenborough about the natural world.

The clip marks the first time the public has ever heard Prince Louis speak and a rare moment to hear George and Charlotte's voices.

‘Hello David Attenborough, what animal do you think will become extinct next?’ questions George, dressed in a red polo shirt, from the garden of Kensington Palace.

‘Hello David Attenborough, I like spiders, do you like spiders too?’ asked Princess Charlotte with her hair pulled back in a ponytail and wearing a black pinafore dress and white summer shirt.

Prince Louis, wearing a white jumper with red and blue stripes, then quizzes the natural historian with the line: ‘What animal do you like?

The deep inhalation of breathe is too adorable, we know!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share new photographs of their family with @DavidAttenborough. The photographs were taken earlier this week in the gardens of Kensington Palace, after The Duke and Sir David attended an outdoor screening of Sir David’s upcoming feature film 🎞️ ‘David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet’. With a shared passion for protecting the natural world, they continue to support one another in their missions to tackle some of the biggest environmental challenges our planet faces. This includes working together on The @EarthshotPrize 🌍 the most prestigious global environment prize in history – further details of which will be shared in the coming weeks. When they met, Sir David gave Prince George a tooth from a giant shark 🦷 the scientific name of which is carcharocles megalodon (‘big tooth’). Sir David found the tooth on a family holiday to Malta in the late 1960s, embedded in the island’s soft yellow limestone which was laid down during the Miocene period some 23 million years ago. Carcharocles is believed to have grown to 15 metres in length, which is about twice the length of the Great White, the largest shark alive today.

HELLO! reports the trio recorded their questions for Attenborough before they met him face-to-face on September 24.

The broadcaster spent an afternoon with the young royals and their parents to watch his new film David Attenborough: A Life on This Planet in the garden at Kensington Palace.

The Cambridges’ Instagram account posted pictures of the encounter, including snaps of George studying his fossilised shark's tooth gifted to him by Attenborough.

One of Charlotte’s most famous on-screen speaking moments in recent years includes her appearance at her younger brother Louis’ christening in July 2018.
