Talking about Middleton’s involvement with the show, Patricia Hidalgo, Director of BBC Children’s and Education, said, “I couldn't be prouder to have The Duchess read a CBeebies Bedtime Story as we mark the 20th anniversary of our CBeebies and CBBC channels.”
“It's such a special and relevant tale and perfectly represents this years' Children's Mental Health Week theme. I can't wait to see her deliver her own take on such a classic story and I'm sure our audience can't either.”
