He then shared the most precious throwback from Kensington Palace. Prince William and Kate Middleton were in the gardens with Attenborough and their kids, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/tags\/prince-george\/\" id=\"auto-tag_prince-george\" data-tag=\"prince-george\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince George<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/tags\/princess-charlotte\/\" id=\"auto-tag_princess-charlotte\" data-tag=\"princess-charlotte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Princess Charlotte<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/tags\/prince-louis\/\" id=\"auto-tag_prince-louis\" data-tag=\"prince-louis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Louis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe shot was taken in 2020, and the kids \u2014 now 11, 10, and 7, respectively \u2014 look so stinkin\u2019 cute! They are coordinating in blue outfits. Prince George has a hint of a smile on his face as he plays with the tooth of a giant shark that Attenborough gave him. Charlotte looks just darling in her blue and white dress and matching shoes. Her head rests in her hands as she smiles up at the famed broadcaster. Middleton can\u2019t help but smile down at her daughter (with whom she is twinning, of course!), and Prince Louis is so adorable in his collared sweater, shorts, and tall socks. (Yes, this throwback is from before he was allowed to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/parenting\/articles\/2926705\/prince-louis-wardrobe-privilege\/\">break royal tradition<\/a> and make the \u201csuburban\u201d move toward pants.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cHowever hard-hitting his message is, Sir David always leaves us with a sense of hope and optimism that all is not lost and this film is no different,\u201d Prince William continued. \u201cWe must act together, with urgency, to restore our oceans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Prince of Wales signed off by wishing Attenborough a Happy Birthday, and we have to do the same.
