Kate Middletonis sharing her family’s reading list in honor of World Book Day next month.
The Duchess of Cambridge has teamed up with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and heronline book clubto reveal five books she loves reading to her children,Prince George, 8,Princess Charlotte, 6, andPrince Louis, 3.
One of Kate’s recommendations has a special connection to her daughter:Charlotte’s Web! Kate said the iconic tale is “an all-time classic and loved in our house for obvious reasons. This is a charming story about friendship, loyalty and love.”
“I loved this book as a little girl and listening to my own children reading it has brought back so many wonderful memories. A comforting story to help children face their fears and grow in confidence with the help of others,” she says.

“As a child I loved spending time outdoors, making dens, digging, discovering and making things out of odds and ends. Whether this was why my father recommended this book to me or whether this book inspired my imagination, I can’t remember, but I have never forgotten this brilliant book and the values it teaches,” Kate says.

Camilla, who has supported literacy initiatives through her royal work, started her Reading Room program in January 2021, and she regularly shares book recommendations.
“Reading for pleasure is, we know, the biggest indicator of a child’s future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents' educational background or their income,” Camilla said. “And yet there are still approximately 400,000 children in our country who don’t have a book of their own.”
