The Duchess of Cambridge will tell youngsters they can face their fears ‘with the help of others’ when she reads on CBeebies this weekend.
Kate Middleton has chosen to read The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson to align with this year’s theme of Growing Together – which has been designed to help those involved to move beyond their comfort zone.
In a clip from the recording, the mum-of-three says: ‘Wow, what an encouraging tale.
For the broadcast on the BBC’s channel for young children, the duchess will wear jeans and a Fair Isle jumper as she sports a relaxed style.
In a first-look picture from her stint on CBBC, Kate wears a comfy sweater and sits by a fire, which will no doubt help children across the country wind down for the evening.
Speaking about the duchess’ involvement in the beloved ritual, director of BBC Children’s and Education Patricia Hidalgo said: ‘I couldn’t be more proud to have The Duchess read a CBeebies Bedtime Story as we mark the 20th anniversary of our CBeebies and CBBC channels.
CBeebies and CBBC celebrate 20 years on air on February 11 and has seen celebrities Tom Hardy, Rege-Jean Page, Dolly Parton, Ryan Reynolds, and many more appearing on the channel during its course.
