Royal children speak to Sir David Attenborough in new video
This is thought to be the first time all three Cambridge children have been heard speaking together on film.
news.sky.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Sir David Attenborough has spoken about his family in interviews and features, noting that he regrets spending so much time away from his children during his peak filming years. He has two children, Robert (son) and Susan (daughter), with his late wife Jane Ebsworth Oriel. The focus of most recent coverage remains on his career and public philanthropy rather than new details about his children.[4][8]
-
In 2025 articles, outlets highlighted his family background and that his children tend to live private, low-profile lives, with Robert and Susan advancing in academic and professional roles rather than pursuing celebrity. The coverage emphasizes David’s pride in their work and his acknowledged challenge of balancing family time with long filming schedules.[3][4]
-
A number of pieces reiterate that his children have largely stayed out of the spotlight; Susan has collaborated with him in recent years, while Robert has an academic career, aligning with Attenborough’s own emphasis on science and education in his public work.[6][4]
