Kate reveals why Princess Charlotte really loves her new pet

-



The Cambridge family has a new addition! The Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, revealed on Wednesday (May 4) that a hamster named Marvin has joined their brood. The royal shared the news that she and Prince William purchased the pet for their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte as she opened Hampton Court's new Magic Garden.

Kate spent time chatting to a group of schoolchildren who were playing in the newly-opened garden, including a nine-year-old girl called Darcey, who explained: "She said she had a hamster, and Charlotte really likes it because the whiskers always tickle her face."



Marvin is the Cambridge family's second pet; William and Kate received their cocker spaniel Lupo as a gift from James Middleton following their wedding in April 2011. Both pets live with the family at their country home Anmer Hall in Norfolk.

Kate made the revelation while chatting to children and well-wishers who had come out to meet her at the play area in London. However not all of the children knew who their special visitor was. As the Duchess toured the outdoor space, a young girl tugged on the sleeve of the chairman of Historic Royal Palaces, Rupert Gavin, pointed at Kate and asked him: "Who's that?"

After Mr Gavin revealed Kate's identity, he recalled: "Then the child said, 'Ooh, are you the princess?'"
 

Princess Charlotte is said to love the pet hamster

The down to earth Duchess replied: "Just call me Kate."

Kate has a jam-packed schedule ahead of her. The Duchess will carry out her first engagement as patron of the Anna Freud Centre – a charity that supports mental health in children – by attending a lunch reception at the charity's new centre of excellence.

She will also visit the National Portrait Gallery, of which she is patron, to view new photographs of herself. The pictures were taken as part of the collaboration between British Vogue and the National Portrait Gallery and show Kate posing in the Norfolk countryside in casual wear.

"Do you remember on Thursday, 24 March 2016, we talked about world's 10 best wedding destination? Here's another  amazing places for vacation."  Want to drop 80% of the average U.S. annual income in one night? Or maybe get some shuteye where Bill Clinton and Pavarotti have previously laid their heads (on separate occasions)? The Middle East's most opulent hotel suites can deliver. With acres of gold leaf and chandeliers at every turn, there's opulence and decor to make Liberace blush.  Throw in Jacuzzis, cinemas, butlers and fine dining, and those cavernous 12,000-square-foot chambers can soon fill up. Sure the prices are high, but the money buys jaw-dropping views over sights including the Bosphorus, the Gulf of Oman and the world's tallest building.  And who knows, the hotels might even throw in a toothbrush for guests who forget theirs. Here are nine of the most extravagant nights that platinum credit cards can buy:...
