Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales marked the 100th birthday of legendary broadcaster Sir David Attenborough with a touching social media tribute celebrating his remarkable legacy.
The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a carousel of photographs and videos on their official Instagram page on May 8, 2026, honouring the beloved conservationist, writer and filmmaker on the milestone occasion.
One of the featured images showed Sir David smiling alongside William, Catherine and their children during a warm family moment.
The post also included a resurfaced video in which the children spoke with the veteran broadcaster about animals and nature.
During the conversation, Prince George asked Sir David which animal he believed could become extinct next. The natural historian responded with hope, saying he wished no animals would disappear in the future.
Princess Charlotte also joined the discussion and spoke about her love of spiders. Sir David appeared delighted by her answer and said he was pleased she appreciated them because he considers spiders “wonderful things.”
Meanwhile, Prince Louis asked the broadcaster about his favourite animal, prompting Sir David to reveal that monkeys are his top choice because they are “such fun.”
Another image in the carousel showed a younger Prince William standing beside Sir David during a public speech, highlighting the long-standing connection between the royal family and the celebrated environmental campaigner.
The post’s caption described Sir David as “a national treasure and an inspiration to us all” as royal fans joined in celebrating his century-long contribution to wildlife education and conservation.
