There’s a new addition to the British Royal Family

Is that the pitter patter of tiny feet?

The British Royal Family have introduced a new addition to their family.

A hamster!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge bought their two gorgeous children George and Charlotte a little pet hamster to join their family.

The furry friend named Marvin (how cute!) joins their friendly dog Lupo.

Duchess Kate opened up about the fluffy animal while at the opening of the Magic Garden at Hampton Court Palace in London yesterday.

A young girl named Darcey told the Daily Telegraph: “She said she had a hamster, and Charlotte really likes it because the whiskers always tickle her face.”

The 34-year-old royal told the children there that Marvin stays at Anmer Hall, their home in Norfolk with Lupo.

There are no publicly know details as to why the family named the pet Marvin, but it’s believed the little hamster may have been named after George’s favourite book ‘Marvin Wanted More’ about a greedy sheep.
