The Duchess of Cambridge has told children it’s okay to be scared while reading one of her favourite stories for her youth.

The royal – who introduced herself simply as ‘Catherine’ – invited young viewers into her ‘bedtime story den’ for the broadcast.

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. ‘I’ve chosen a story which I remember reading as a little girl, it’s called The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark.’Illustrations from the storybook accompany the reading by Kate, who appeared in laid back clothing and with a hot chocolate within reach, two soft toy owls for company and a lit fire bowl.‘We can all feel scared sometimes just like our little owl friend Plop, but as Mrs Barn Own said, “It’s better to find out about the things that scare us before we make up our mind”.

Given the Queen Camilla news 1000% chance Charles JR (aka William) dumps icy boring 'non-entertaining' Kate and we get future Queen Rose (who is entertaining for W according to Rose's brother). Actually does have a nice ring to it.

My little neice loved this so much I had to buy her the book. Not that she seems to get scared of much, not even my snappy little Jack Russell!

Is it OK to be scared when we read the bill for running the monarchy?

Survival of the weakest. Victim-culture. Teach all kids that life owes them a living... that everything is fine and the world will recognise how special they are.......
