Duchess of Edinburgh to Read CBeebies Bedtime Story for World Sight Day

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, will highlight the importance of eye health by reading 'Specs for Rex' on October 10.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, will make a rare media appearance on CBeebies Bedtime Stories to read 'Specs for Rex' by Yasmeen Ismail.
The reading is scheduled for World Sight Day on October 10, aiming to raise awareness about eye health and the importance of regular eye check-ups.
The Duchess is a passionate advocate for the sight loss community, inspired by her daughter's eye condition and her own experiences with glasses.
This appearance follows a similar initiative by the Princess of Wales in 2022, who read 'The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark' for Children's Mental Health Week.
Sophie has also been announced as the new patron of Girlguiding, continuing her long-standing support for the organization.
