Duchess of Cambridge reveals Charlotte and George are both nature lovers during Natural History Museum speech
'As a parent myself, I am experiencing the joy all over again'
The Duchess of Cambridge has revealed that both her children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are nature lovers during a speech delivered at the Natural History Museum.
The doting mum-of-two attended a ceremony at the museum she is a patron of, where the new giant blue whale skeleton has been unveiled.
The 83-foot skeleton has been hung from the ceiling in the revamped Hintze Hall, replacing the beloved Dippy the dinosaur.
Kate joined Sir David Attenborough to be among the first people to see the new addition to the museum, where she also showcased her brand new short hair style with loose curls.
Speaking at the event, Kate revealed both Charlotte and George love visiting the world-famous museum.
