A Palace aide said: 'The children are massive fans of Sir David and this was the first time they had met him, although they have always wanted to. 'They were fascinated by the shark tooth and Sir David explained how he had found it, how old it was and how it had been preserved in Malta's soft yellow limestone.'

The pair then watched the 80-minute film, and Sir David gave the Prince a copy of the accompanying book.
