Prince George already shares a special passion with his dad Prince William, Kate Middleton reveals

'It's great to have that father-son thing'

Prince George already shares a special passion with his dad, Prince William, as revealed by his mum Kate Middleton. He might only be four-years-old, but the tiny royal is already following in his dad's footsteps.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the BAFTAs on Sunday evening, where Kate revealed that Prince George shares a hobby with his dad.

While chatting to Lee Unkrich, the director of the acclaimed Disney animation Coco, the expectant mum said both father and son love films.

'They [kids] are just getting into films now, George is four-and-a-half', she said.

'It's great obviously because of William's interest in film, it's great to have that father-son thing.'

Prince William has been the British Academy of Film and Television Arts President since 2010, having succeeded Lord Attenborough – the only non-Royal president of BAFTA to date.

Kate, who's due to welcome her third child in April, also revealed what are Prince George's favourite films at the moment.

'Paddington is definitely up there, and so is Coco now', the mum said, before adding that she's yet to watch the Pixar blockbuster. 'I'm desperate to see it. Lots of girlfriends have been to see it with their kiddies and been really impressed with it.'

Last year, Prince William also revealed that his son is a Disney film fan, and that The Lion King is one of his favourites.

Speaking to a boy about George's taste in films during special event ahead of Paddington 2's premiere in October, he said: 'He quite likes The Lion King. We've watched that a few times.

'We've watched Octonauts several times. He has watched some Lego movies as well, so he's watched a lot of things like that.'

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are just a couple of months away from welcoming another sibling into their family, as their mum is due to give birth in April.
