Prince Charles took the time to pick out some sweet pig ornaments for Prince George and Princess Charlotte while in Vanuatu earlier this year, a new documentary reveals.
The 69-year-old royal spotted two wooden pigs that he immediately wanted for his grandchildren while visiting the market during his South Pacific Island tour in April.
The Prince of Wales said "I'm wondering whether to buy a pig or not" while visiting one of the stalls, adding "Children always like those don't they, pigs?"
The newBBCdocumentary, entitled Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70 reveals how his officials had to cobble together the correct currency in order to help the royal buy a number of items during his visit.

Charles asked the stall holder, "Could I buy one of these? I'm trying to help contribute to the local economy in Vanuatu."
"I'm wondering whether to buy a pig or not. Children always like those don't they, pigs?" Charles asked.
Charles' adorable admission comes after the Daily Mail's Robert Hardman revealed that Prince George, and Princess Charlotte call Prince Charles ‘Grandpa Wales’.
