Princess Charlotte wears £23 high street dress to meet Sir David Attenborough

Where the Duchess of Cambridge goes, smart fashion decisions are sure to follow, and that rule extends to her brood too.

During a meeting with her "hero", Sir David Attenborough, Princess Charlotte sported a floral Peter Pan collar dress from Zara (now sold out.)

For the occasion, the five-year-old royal paired her frock with a pair of the Trotters Hampton Canvas plimsolls (£28, buy now) in a zingy cornflower blue hue.

It's not the first time Charlotte has worn the Spanish high street brand and she was photographed wearing a similar Peter Pan-collared dress back in May to deliver meals to those in need during the Coronavirus crisis.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share new photographs of their family with @DavidAttenborough. The photographs were taken earlier this week in the gardens of Kensington Palace, after The Duke and Sir David attended an outdoor screening of Sir David’s upcoming feature film 🎞️ ‘David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet’. With a shared passion for protecting the natural world, they continue to support one another in their missions to tackle some of the biggest environmental challenges our planet faces. This includes working together on The @EarthshotPrize 🌍 the most prestigious global environment prize in history – further details of which will be shared in the coming weeks. When they met, Sir David gave Prince George a tooth from a giant shark 🦷 the scientific name of which is carcharocles megalodon (‘big tooth’). Sir David found the tooth on a family holiday to Malta in the late 1960s, embedded in the island’s soft yellow limestone which was laid down during the Miocene period some 23 million years ago. Carcharocles is believed to have grown to 15 metres in length, which is about twice the length of the Great White, the largest shark alive today.

The Duchess of Cambridge opted to wear a denim dress by sustainable designer Gabriela Hearst (£1,295, pre-order here.) The Duchess accessorised the midi dress with her trusty Rupert Sanderson Malory pumps (£475, buy now.)

The family spent time with Sir Attenborough after Kate and Prince William enjoyed an outdoor viewing of his upcoming feature film David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet.

Earlier this year, the Duchess was asked by primary school pupils about the best famous person she'd ever met and she said it had to be Sir David Attenborough.
