"When I was his age, I remember being given fossils by a grown-up, so I thought I would do the same," he 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."
George, Charlotte and Louis are all fans of David, so much so that they are believed to have asked their parents to meet him.

In Prince William: A Planet for Us All, the Duke says becoming a father has spurred him on to do more to save the planet. "I have always loved nature, but fatherhood has given me a new sense of purpose,” he says.
“Now I’ve got George, Charlotte and Louis in my life, your outlook does change. You want to hand over to the next generation, the wildlife, in a much better condition."
