Duchess of Cambridge reveals the one celebrity who leaves her starstruck

It’s probably hard for many to believe that Duchess Kate gets starstruck as she is a proud member of the royal family, but she proved otherwise in a sweet video call with Casterton Primary Academy.

In the video chat, she revealed her favourite celebrity to meet and it’s a great one.

Anita Ghidotti, Chief Executive of the Pendle Trust, said to Hello! that the children at the school were curious and asked the question.

"The kids also asked them what the best famous person was that they had met—something I bet they don’t get asked very often!" Ghidotti recalled.

"The Duchess said that George has been watching lots of David Attenborough, Blue Planet and the like, so that would probably be hers."

The Duchess of Cambridge has met her favourite celebrity a few times, as the pair can be seen together after attending the naming ceremony for the RSS Sir David Attenborough in September, 2019.

She’s met Sir David at the Natural History Museum Alive 3D premiere in 2013 and most recently at the event above.

Prince William has also met Sir David Attenborough at the global premiere of Netflix’s “Our Planet” with Prince Charles and Prince Harry.

Prince William also had the opportunity to interview Sir David at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting after Attenborough was receiving a Crystal Award for his leadership in the fight against climate change.

"Care for the natural world. Not only care for the natural world, but treat it with a degree of respect and reverence,” pleaded Attenborough.

"The future of the natural world is in our hands. In our daily lives, the thing I really care for... is not to waste the riches of the natural world on which we depend. it's not just energy, but it's also dealing with the natural world with a degree of respect. Don't throw away food, or throw away power, just care for the natural world, of which we are a part."
