Prince William and Kate Middleton treated Prince George and Princess Charlotte to a special half-term treat this week.
George, nine, and seven year old Charlotte accompanied their parents to a private late-night tour of the set of The Rings of Power, a TV spin-off of The Lord of the Rings films.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were invited to see the big-budget Prime Video show being filmed on Friday evening, sources told The Sun.
“William is a huge fan of the films so jumped at the chance. They were introduced to the major cast members and were shown around the set.
“It was all hugely exciting for George and Charlotte who loved looking at the props and how everything was laid out, but Louis stayed at home as it was a bit late in the evening for him.
They added, "They were accompanied by security and it was very low-key. It was a huge honour for the cast, too.”
The filming was for a second series of the hit show, set thousands of years before JRR Tolkien’s epic fantasy novels.
Previously, Lord of the Rings actor Martin Freeman revealed William was a big fan of Tolkien, who wrote The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books.
After meeting him at the London premiere of the first The Hobbit film, Martin said: "He was a nice guy. He is the biggest royal fan. We have fans everywhere – it is a very beloved book.
"He knew all the facts about Middle Earth and I think I kept him talking too long."
Martin, who played Bilbo Baggins in the films, said: “You know the protocol, you have got to let them say what they want to say and let them move on but I think I was boring him a little bit as I held onto him talking about Middle Earth .”
