We all know the whale’s children from the beautiful images that their mother Catherine shares of them with the press.

They are gorgeous, well-mannered, and of course, adorable.

But their lives are often shrouded in mystery, leaving the public with little idea of what their lives look like and how they interact with relatives.

Almost every member of the royal family is a big fan of the outdoors and has their favorite animal.

For example, the late queen herself is particularly fond of horses.

She has been riding for most of her life, including most days in quarantine.

However, there is another animal that has been stealing the hearts of royal family members, and it seems that the number of fans it has is growing.

As reported, William and Catherine are helping their three children raise chickens, a bird that King Charles truly loves.

The king is the all-time chicken lover and has an encyclopedic knowledge of most breeds and knows how to rear them, adding that he and Camilla like to talk to their hens.

Cluckingham Palace is what his house is sometimes called.

Catherine and her children have been watching their hens grow up at the country house Anmer Hall in Norfolk.

The great interest outside Anmer Hall are the hens.

Reared from chicks, she and three kids are out daily in the hen house, collecting fresh eggs in their baskets, and the eggs are then used in the kitchen almost immediately.

They have a well-laid-out chicken coop and a safe fox-proof chicken house, filled with healthy food and feeding treats.

Organic self-sufficiency is the name of the game with the whales.

Reports also say that the family has also set up a vegetable garden at Anmer Hall.

Each of the kids has their own plot of land to take care of, though Prince Louis is still too young to take care of his himself.

Each whale’s child has been gifted small gardening tools, including trowels, rakes, shovels, small spades and mini wheelbarrows, brightly colored watering cans, mini gardening gloves to avoid cuts and stings, or totally filthy hands and nails, a source previously told The Sun.

Catherine has long talked about her belief that gardens can be helpful for teaching young children, and she designed and worked on a display for the Chelsea Flower Show that put her ideas in practice.

She has also talked about how her children love helping her out in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, her mother, Carol Middleton, has tried to share her love of all things gardening with her grandchildren, and this has meant allowing them to get a bit muddy as she encourages them to enjoy the outdoors.

She said she enjoys getting her hands dirty when the grandchildren come over.

All the children are green-fingered, and to keep them busy in the garden, Grandma Carol likes to set up different activity stations so the kids don’t lose interest.

“If I’m doing planting with my grandchildren, I like to have it all laid out at activity stations with their own little trowel and pot so they can get started immediately.

It’s no good calling children over to an activity only for you then to have to fuss about looking for the right equipment and clearing a space.

They’ll soon lose interest and slope off,” said Carol.

It’s important for children to grow up appreciating nature, and part of that is allowing them to get a bit muddy.

Carol has also said that she aims to be as physically active as possible when the grandkids come round, and plans to keep running after them as long as she is able.

Granny Carol often steps in to look after the kids whenever their parents need a hand.
