The Royal Family's Favorite Children's Books

Town and Country Magazine said To mark their son's first birthday, Harry and Meghan shared a sweet video of the Duchess reading baby Archie one of his favorite books, Duck! Rabbit!, which is a creative exploration in perspective by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld.

Town and Country Magazine said In that same video of Archie, some intrepid royal fans pointed out that the youngster is also a fan of Mommy Hugs, Georg Hallensleben and Anne Gutman's board book, which illustrates the affection moms have for their babies throughout the animal kingdom.

Town and Country Magazine said Also spotted in Archie's reading nook: Is Your Mama a Llama? a rhyming classic, with playful illustrations of animals.

Town and Country Magazine said William and Kate's little ones are big fans of The Gruffalo. When Prince William met Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler at an event in 2018, he said,"I know who you are. It’s a big hit in our household, The Gruffalo."

Town and Country Magazine said When visiting an ice cream parlor in South Wales, Prince William shared that another one of Donaldson and Scheffler's books is a Cambridge family favorite. "I read this to our children all the time," he said, pointing to the witchy book Room on the Broom, which a child was reading in the shop.

Town and Country Magazine said It doesn't get more British than Prince Harry buying a first-edition copy of A.A Milne's classic Winnie-the-Pooh as a christening gift for his nephew Prince Louis.

Town and Country Magazine said Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrew's ex-wife and the mother of Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, is also a children's book author. She's written a number of titles, including a series about Little Red.

Town and Country Magazine said Way back before Meghan Markle was the Duchess of Sussex, she shared the one book she couldn't wait to share with her future children. Her answer was Shel Silverstein's tale of selfless love, The Giving Tree.

Town and Country Magazine said In a video on her mother's YouTube page, Princess Eugenie read her "favorite" children's book, Guess How Much I Love You, by Sam McBratney and Anita Jeram
