In another, she dons a flower garland and is interrupted by her two dogs while she reads through Where The Wild Things Are on the lawns within the grounds of her Windsor home.
Alongside relaxing children’s stories, the duches has shared clips of herself making rainbow cakes, fairy wings and teddy necklaces to inspire youngsters – and give parents some stay-athome ideas. She has also been joined on her channel, named Storytime With Fergie And Friends, by the likes of her daughter Princess Eugenie, actor, author and presenter Stephen Fry, and Bruce Forsyth’s widow Wilnelia.

Since her first upload in April, the online channel has garnered more than 300,000 views and clips are added almost every day.
Ms Ferguson, who recently signed a publishing deal for seven books, is already the author of over 25 books including Budgie The Little Helicopter and the Little Red series.
