Royal Family: Kate reads a book from her childhood during Cbeebies bedtime

The Duchess of Cambridge welcomed Cbeebies viewers into her 'bedtime story den' as she read a book from her childhood.

Kate described the children’s classic The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark, by Jill Tomlinson, as an “encouraging tale” during her narration of the book to mark Children’s Mental Health Week.

Illustrated by Belfast artist Paul Howard, the book tells the story of baby barn owl Plop, who is helped by others to grow in confidence and overcome his fears.
