The entire Cambridge family enjoyed a movie date in the gardens of Kensington Palace last week. 
The Duke and Duchess, along with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis had a sneak peek at David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet.
The film opens in theatres on Monday and premieres on Netflix on Friday, October 4th. More about the film from The Guardian’s review:
‘I am David Attenborough and I’m 93. This is my witness statement.” There is a tremendously moving sense of finality about Attenborough’s terrifying new documentary on the climate emergency. It is being marketed as a retrospective, a look back at his life and 60-years-plus career. But make no mistake about its true agenda: Attenborough is here to deliver a stark warning that time is ticking for the planet. It is a personal film – and political, too. There is emotion and urgency in that familiar soothing voice. At one point he rubs his eyes, reddened and damp.
Here is the trailer for the film.
The group watched the film outside. You get a sense of the setup in this photo from the Kensington Palace Instagram page. 
When it came time to watch the movie, it doesn’t look like the gentlemen paid too much attention to the names on their chairs. 
Sir David gave prince George a remarkable present.
More from Rhiannon Mills in her Sky TV story:
The Duchess of Cambridge has talked about Prince George’s obsession with dinosaurs in the past – now her eldest son is the proud owner of a shark’s tooth from the time of the prehistoric giants thanks to Sir David Attenborough.
In a new photograph released by Kensington Palace, seven-year-old George looked ecstatic as he handled the fossilised giant shark’s tooth given to him by Sir David.
The giant shark tooth given to George was found by Sir David during a family holiday to Malta in the late 1960s.
Of course, this is not the first time the Duke and Duchess have spent time with Sir David. Their association goes back many, many years. One of the more recent occasions was at a September 2019 ship naming ceremony. 
The RSS Sir David Attenborough, a new polar research vessel, was being formally named. 
Here you see the Duchess and Sir David at a July 2017 event at the Natural History Museum in a photo shared by journalist Jack Royston on Twitter.

Those on social media might enjoy following Sir David on his new Instagram account. The naturalist and broadcaster opened an account last week and quickly shattered records for gaining followers. NPR reports he “broke the world record on Thursday for the fastest time to reach one million followers on Instagram, according to Guinness World Records.” Why did he join the social media platform? “I am making this move and exploring this new way of communication (to me), because, as we all know, the world is in trouble.”
Now to what Kate wore, a new denim dress by Gabriela Hearst. 
The dress is the ‘Marley’ style, from the designer’s pre-fall 2020 collection. It is 100% cotton with a cotton/silk lining. The style features a buttoned bodice with concealed placket, adjustable sleeve length with tabs, a self-belt with snaffle closure, and a full skirt accented with mother of pearl snaps on the side. 
The dress is available in the deep blue chambray worn by the Duchess at Luisa Via Roma ($1590); in limited sizes at My Theresa ($1590); in most sizes at Neiman Marcus ($1590) and limited sizes at Net-a-Porter ($1590). It is offered in a lighter blue at Matches Fashion ($1590)
For those unfamiliar with the label, Gabriela Hearst is a New York-based designer of womenswear and menswear. More from this Business of Fashion piece.
“We have integrity in how we make our things, check who makes them and where they come from,” Hearst told MatchesFashion. “We make sure that, for our woman, things are made in the best environment, in the best possible way and that those core values are placed to the fore.”
Gabriela Hearst’s emphasis on sustainability results in a limited product offering, with demand far exceeding supply.
Just a few weeks ago, Ms. Hearst was named the 2020 Council of Fashion Designers of America Womenswear Designer of the Year.
There is a debate about which shoes the Duchess is wearing, her navy Rupert Sanderson heels, or her Emmy London pair. I will take a closer look and see if I can see any distinguishing traits that might help determine which style she is wearing.
It looks like the Duchess may have been wearing new earrings, the Pangolin Haka style ($234) in silver by Patrick Mavros. (Note: both photos below are from Patrick Mavros, that is not a shot of the Duchess wearing the earrings.)
The earrings are described this way: “these tapered earrings are hand-polished to perfection. Inspired by the symmetry of a Pangolin’s tail, the classic shape epitomizes the rare style of this exceptional mammal.” Many thanks to the UFO No More crew for this fab ID.
What a nice treat to have new photos on a Saturday!
