Princess Charlotte's Playmate? Royals Welcome A Hamster

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 May, 2016 11:35 AM

LONDON — A hamster named Marvin has joined Prince William and his wife Kate's household.

Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, told a 9-year-old girl about Marvin during a school visit Wednesday.

The schoolgirl, named only as Darcey, says Kate told her that 1-year-old Princess Charlotte likes it when Marvin's whiskers tickle her face.

There was no word on whether her 2-year-old brother Prince George likes Marvin too.

Kensington Palace officials later confirmed the account. The family also has a dog named Lupo.
