The Duchess of Cambridge has admitted she needs to swot up on the names of her son’s favourite toys: Dinosaurs.
Kate was at the Natural History Museum in London this week for a children’s tea party to say goodbye to one of the museums best-recognised pieces – the huge skeleton of a Diplodocus, known as ‘Dippy.’
The Dutchess has been a patron to the museum for the last three years and told some of the visiting children;
“Georges loves the T-Rex the best because it is the noisiest and the scariest.”
When questioned by the inquisitive children she also revealed that George loves volcanos and that Charlotte’s favourite thing is….chatting.
According to reports in the Telegraph, Kate then posed for a photograph with ‘Dippy.’ The museum’s centerpiece will be leaving in January to tour around the country for at least four years. ‘Dippy’ will be replaced at the entrance to the museum by the real skeleton of a 25-metre female blue whale.
Director of the Museum, Sir Michael Dixon, said the Dutchess has always been a very supportive patron:
“George is very keen on dinosaurs – apparently he would have loved to come today. She did remark on the fact that as her children get older, she is going to have to mug up on the names of dinosaurs. She is actually very knowledgeable about the natural world and passionate about oceans. She is a keen scuba diver. She is very, very keen to engage more with the museum and its collections. She has been behind the scenes on a number of occasions and talked to some of our researchers and seen quite a lot of our collection areas.”
