Last Thursday April 12th, Prince Edward inaugurated the new exhibition Mahali Pori to Bristol Zoo, as patron of the Zoological Society of Bristol. His wife Sophie had been invited to accompany him. The couple arrived as scheduled. But the Earl and Countess of Wessex had not come alone. They brought their two children, Lady Louise, 12, and Viscount James, age 8 who were on a small break from school.

"The climax came in the Madagascar section of the exhibition where Louise and James crouched to feed some hungry lemurs and meerkats. Since the animals were rushing around, giggling young royals and gave them more food, "says the British tabloid" Hello! ". A series of photos also shows mischievous little James tried to put a cricket in the back of his father, the laughter of his mother.
