What we would do to have been a fly on the wall when David Attenborough popped round for a quick history lesson with the Cambridges.
The iconic naturalist, who is known to be good friends with Her Majesty herself, was invited to the family's home after school on Thursday night to meet Prince George and Princess Charlotte, giving them a history lesson. As far as after-school activities go, this has to be up there as the best!
David Attenborough later revealed that he found the children "charming" and that it was a "very nice domestic occasion," as reported by The Times. The 94-year-old gave George a fossil tooth from a giant shark that he found on holiday in Malta in the 1960s, sparking George to reveal his interest in fossils.

""When I was his age, I remember being given fossils by a grown-up, so I thought I would do the same," David said.
"[George asked] What it was? How big it was? And so on. He was certainly very interested. He seemed to like it. He is very interested in fossils. She [Charlotte] was too. All three seemed charming."
The Duchess of Cambridge's three children, George, Charlotte and Louis, are all thought to be huge fans of David and his documentaries. In a new ITV documentary, which will air on October 5, where the Duchess of Cambridge is seen chatting to Sir David and tells him that her children are, "massive fans".
