"Fabulous news!!!! Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is the Children's Princess!!!! #DuchessofCambridge," said one fan. "Wow, look at this!!!! CBeebies and #DuchessofCambridge together. This is why she’s THE children’s princess #KateAt40 #catherineat40," said another.
Last year, Kate Middleton's fans give her a new nickname inspired by Princess Diana and dubbed her 'the Children's Princess.' In Princess Diana's life, she was often referred to as 'the People's Princess,' so the inspiration for the Duchess of Cambridge's unofficial title has clear links to her late mother-in-law.
Fans can expect to see the Duchess of Cambridge on CBeebies on Sunday, February 13, at 6.50pm GMT.
