It was a special occasion for the Cambridge children as they met a true hero, nature broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.
The photographs were taken in the gardens of Kensington Palace, and we're sure young Louis looked on in awe as Sir David presented his older brother George with a real shark's tooth!

It was a trip to the pantomime for Louis and his siblings in December 2020.
The Cambridges attended a special pantomime performance at London's Palladium Theatre, to thank key workers and their families for their efforts throughout the pandemic.
