Following his royal family members, Marvin supported The Heads Together Campaign to change perceptions about mental health, rocking his own hamster-size headband. He also paid tribute to uncle Prince Harry's work with the Invictus Games to honor wounded warriors, donning the signature “I AM\" Invictus T-shirt.

Marvin also got dressed up in a matching robe like his best buddy, Prince George, to meet President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama in April.

While \"Covergirl\" Kate may have stolen the show with her Vogue magazine cover, Marvin the hamster also got in on the act with his own magazine spread.

Marvin even has a little jewelry envy, showing off his copy of Kate’s and Princess Diana’s wedding ring with a matching tiara.

He found himself in a rowboat in the same Alexander McQueen outfit that Kate wore to her meeting Sir Ben Ainslie and the U.K. sailing team trying to win back the Americas Cup.

Taking all she knows from news on the royals, Frazier lets her creativity run wild.
“Princess Charlotte likes it when Marvin's whiskers tickle her face, and that is [Marvin’s] true gratification in life, much better than any of his daydreams,” Frazier said.
In her mind, there is no competition between Marvin and the Cambridge family’s first dog, Lupo.
“Marvin and Lupo live in harmony,” Frazier said, “And, by harmony, I mean Marvin does his best not to resemble a chew toy when Lupo is around.”
Marvin's next outfits will \"just follow the whim of his daydreams,\" Frazier told ABC News, adding that she is looking forward to illustrating some \"favorite 'throwback' looks\" on the account.
While Frazier hasn't heard from Marvin's very busy parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, she would love to at some point.
