Prince Louis can be heard speaking for the first time ever in an adorable new video posted by Kensington Palace.
Daily Mail reported that the video was filmed back in August by Kate Middleton and Prince William in the garden at Kensington Palace, and it shows their three children asking Sir David Attenborough questions about the natural world.
Louis, who is two-and-a-half-years-old, steals the show as he sweetly asks, “What animal do you like?”
“I think I like monkeys best because they’re such fun!” replies Attenborough, 94. “They can jump all over the place and they don’t bite. Some do but if you’re careful they don’t. They’re so funny and I like them a lot. Mind you, you can’t have monkeys sitting around the home because that’s not where they live. They live out in the forest.”
“So what can you have at home that you like? What would you choose – a puppy or kitten? It’s a very difficult question…I think I’d go for a puppy,” he adds.

The video opens with Prince George, 7, saying, “Hello David Attenborough, what animal do you think will become extinct next?”
“Let’s hope there won’t be any. There are lots of things we can do when animals are in danger of extinction. We can protect them,” Attenborough replies. “About 40 years ago I was with some mountain gorillas in the centre of Africa. Mountain gorillas were then very, very rare – only two hundred and fifty of them left.”
“We showed pictures of them on television around the world and people thought how terrible it would be if these became extinct,” the veteran broadcaster adds. “So they subscribed lots of money and lots of people came to help and now, there are over a thousand of them. So you can save an animal if you want to and put your mind to it. People round the world are doing that because animals are so precious. Let’s hope there won’t be any more that’ll go extinct.”
Princess Charlotte, 5, gets in on the action as well, asking, “Hello David Attenborough, I like spiders, do you like spiders too?”
“I love spiders, I’m so glad you like them! I think they’re wonderful things. Why is it that people are so frightened of them?” he says in response. “I think it’s because they’ve actually got eight legs, which are much more than us. If you’ve got eight legs you can move in any direction so you can never be sure which way that spider’s going to go. So people don’t like them and they don’t like those hairy legs either.”
“But spiders are so clever. Have you ever tried to watch one build its web? That is extraordinary,” Attenborough continues. “How does it make this circular web like that attached to trees on either side or bits of vegetation. How do they do it? Try and watch and see how they do it. It’s marvelous!”
What an adorable video of the little royals!
