Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have bestowed a charming Welsh name upon a new baby kangaroo at Australia Zoo.
The royal youngsters opted for 'Cwtch', a word meaning 'cuddle', for the joey.
Conservationist Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin, shared the news on social media.
"Introducing Cwtch, the newest member of the Australia Zoo family, a gorgeous eastern grey kangaroo joey," he wrote.
In accompanying video footage, Mr Irwin explained that "my friends, the Wales family, helped us to name our beautiful new joey".
He praised 'Cwtch' as the "absolute perfect name" for the eastern grey kangaroo, noting that "at this age they love a cuddle and they spend most of their time inside that pouch with their mum".
Mr Irwin, who manages Australia Zoo in Queensland and serves as an ambassador for William’s Earthshot Prize, added: "I want to say a particular thank you to Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte for your help in finding this little one a brilliant name."
He encouraged visitors to "look out for Cwtch on your next visit to @australiazoo, and support their vital conservation efforts to protect Australia’s wildlife and wild places".
Prince George previously visited Australia with his parents in 2014 as a baby, where he met a bilby also named George, at Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
