As a royal, Kate Middleton gets to meet all kinds of important people with impressive resums.

But during a video call on Wednesday with the children of essential workers amid the coronavirus pandemic , the Duchess of Cambridge was asked to narrow down her favorite celebrity to just one person.

She had a ready answer for the students at the Casterton Primary Academy: broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough, a royal family favorite.

The kids ... asked (the duchess and her husband, Prince William ) what the best famous person was that they had met something I bet they dont get asked very often! Anita Ghidotti, chief executive of the Pendle Trust told the Mirror (and confirmed by Kensington Palace). The Pendle Trust oversees Casterton Primary Academy, which is catering to the children of essential workers due to the current health crisis.

The Duchess said that George (the oldest of the couples three children) has been watching lots of David Attenborough, Blue Planet (the BBC documentary series hosted by the 93-year-old) and the like, so that would probably be hers, Ghidotti said.

The royal family has enjoyed a long relationship with Attenborough. Just last year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a naming ceremony for Britains new polar research ship, aptly called the RRS Sir David Attenborough, with the naturalist himself.
