The Prince and Princess of Wales shook hands with Paddington Bear and discussed marmalade sandwiches backstage at this year's Royal Variety Performance.
Paddington, in the form of an actor in a costume from the beloved bear's new West End musical, performed for the royal couple at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Wednesday.
Prince William said the performance was "fantastic", before adding: "Your sandwich looks very nice."
Catherine, Princess of Wales, said their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were "very sad" to miss the event.
Paddington has a close connection with the Royal Family, after the character famously appeared in a sketch with the late Queen Elizabeth II for her Platinum Jubilee in 2022.
