Duchess of Edinburgh to Read CBeebies Bedtime Story for Young Fans
King Charles has publicly acknowledged Duchess Sophie ahead of her upcoming appearance for World Sight Day. The Duchess of Edinburgh will be marking the occasion by reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story on October 10, 2024, for young audiences.
As confirmed by the BBC, "Her Royal Highness Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, is reading a CBeebies Bedtime Story to mark World Sight Day." The programme, scheduled for 6:50pm, will feature the book Specs for Rex by Yasmeen Ismail, encouraging children to embrace their differences.
The monarch showed his support for his sister-in-law by sharing details of Sophie’s engagement on the royal family's Instagram account. Sophie, who has been described as King Charles’s "secret weapon," has continued to offer her support to the King, particularly during his health struggles.
Prince Edward's wife has increased her royal duties, performing more engagements as the family faces health challenges. Royal expert Jennie Bond remarked that Sophie is seen as a "safe pair of hands" for her reliable and steadfast approach to royal engagements.
