Prince George has got a favourite animal - and it's not one many people would associate with the average 10-year-old. The Royal Family have traditionally been animal lovers with the late Queen Elizabeth having a soft spot for her corgis as well as horses.
But according to dad Prince William, the second in line to the throne is "obsessed" with a rather uncommon animal - snakes.
The Prince of Wales made the revelation in 2021, during a visit to Northern Ireland with Princess Kate.
The royal pair paid a visit to a petting zoo at Ulster University's Magee campus where William got to handle a snake.

However, even though Princess Charlotte was absent from her mother's encounter with the arachnoid, she herself revealed to be a huge fan of the eight-legged bugs.
Back in 2020, Charlotte appeared in a video released by Kensington Palace alongside her two brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, as they asked Sir David Attenborough questions about their favourite animals.
During the heartwarming video, a young Charlotte can be seen revealing that she likes spiders whilst asking Sir David if he likes them too.
He replied: "I love spiders, I'm so glad you like them[...]"
