The secret is out: the Cambridges have a hamster, a pet for Prince George and Princess Charlotte and a rival for Lupo, the family dog.

However, the one present people have focused on is a pet hamster, who just so happens to be named Marvin.
The rare insight in to Royal Family life was provided courtesy of a nine-year-old school pupil from Hampton Wick called Darcey.
The Duchess also jokingly mentioned that her son, Prince George, would be a “bit scared” of the dragon, though he would “love it” all the same.
She was escorted around by the garden’s designer, Robert Myers, chairman of Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) Rupert Gavin and HRP chief executive Michael Day.
Then, in the evening, Kate visited the National Portrait Gallery to view her much talked about new pictures as part of the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition. Perhaps most stunning is Duchess Kate casually chic dressed in a lovely, long leather coat as she sits atop a bicycle.
Kate brought her characteristic warmth and charm to the engagement, waving to well-wishers and the dozens of children that had come out to meet her.
After the unveiling, the mother of George, 2, and Charlotte, 12 months, attended a luncheon back in London where she paired her nude accessories with a gray, asymmetrical neckline frock by Roksanda.
“It was a surprise, they told us yesterday we would see her”.
Mr Gavin also revealed that, on the way around the garden, one child had tugged on his jacket and asked “Who is that?”.

She continued to admire the photographs, she told Olins: “Thank you Josh”. Both pets live with the family at their country home Anmer Hall in Norfolk.
