Prince William revealed Prince George's favourite Disney film - and it's a classic

While The Prince and Princess of Wales work hard to ensure Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are afforded the greatest amount of privacy possible, there are times where the couple reveal cute stories about their children.

From Prince William passing on Princess Charlotte's message to the England Lionesses that she is "very good in goal" to Kate revealing what Prince Louis said after the late Queen had passed away, there are a number of stories to choose from.

One topic that both Prince William and Kate have previously been quizzed on is what Prince George's favourite film is. While they both gave different answers, one of the nine-year-old royal's go-to movies is a Disney classic.

During a post-BAFTAs ceremony meet-and-greet, Kate was overheard revealing that British-classic 'Paddington' and Disney's 'Coco' are some of Prince George's favourite films.

Then, referring to Prince William's role as the President of BAFTA, she added: "It's great obviously because of William's interest in film, it's great to have that father-son thing."

Prince William had previously revealed that his eldest son enjoys watching Disney films, saying "He quite likes The Lion King. We've watched that a few times."

The royal went on to add: "We've watched Octonauts several times. He has watched some Lego movies as well, so he's watched a lot of things like that."

During a later trip to Northern Ireland, The Prince of Wales revealed his eldest son had a new favourite film and was very fond of 'How to Train your Dragon'

The fantasy action movie follows the story of Viking teenager named Hiccup who aspires to follow his tribe's tradition of becoming a dragon slayer, but befriends one in the process.

It is clear that George isn't the only one of the Wales children to be fond of Disney as Princess Charlotte was previously seen dancing to the hit son 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' from Disney's 'Encanto' during a Jubilee trip to Cardiff.

Prince William has previously revealed that one of his go-to movies is the festive favourite 'Elf' starring Will Ferrell.

During a special chat with Radio Marsden, a radio station that serves the Royal Marsden Hospital of which he is patron, Prince William revealed some of his favourite things about Christmas.

While he also revealed that 'Feliz Navidad' is his festive song of choice and that he likes playing the board game 'Risk' with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, his Christmas movie of choice is 'Elf'.

William said: "I would have to say, probably Elf. It's very funny and I keep watching it every Christmas and it still makes me laugh."

While Prince George and Prince William's favourite films are all classics, it may surprise you to learn that the late Queen's movie of choice was less-than traditional.

According to a very well-placed source, the late Queen’s favourite film was Flash Gordon.

The 1980s sci-fi adventure film which stars Sam Jones and Brian Blessed is about football player Flash and his friends who travel to the planet Mongo and find themselves fighting against Ming the Merciless to save Earth.

The surprising revelation came directly from 85-year-old Brian Blessed who took on the role of Prince Vultan in the movie.

Speaking a few years ago in an interview with Yahoo Movies, Blessed said: "The Queen, it’s her favourite film, she watches it with her grandchildren every Christmas."

He then added, impersonating The Queen, saying: "You know, we watch Flash Gordon all the time, me and the grandchildren. And if you don’t mind, I’ve got the grandchildren here, would you mind saying ‘Gordon’s alive’?"
