Kate Middleton's bedtime story, saying it was like "reading a script", instead praising Meghan Markle's Disney documentary.Twitter users took to the social media site to make their opinions known after the Duchess of Cambridge appeared on CBeebies on Sunday, February 13, to read a bedtime story.Kate read the children's classic, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, which she claims she enjoyed as a child and now reads to her own kids.The book, by Jill Tomlinson, tells the story of baby barn owl Plop, who is helped by others to grow in confidence and overcome his fears.The Duchess chose the book to mark Children’s Mental Health Week as the story chimes with this year’s theme of Growing Together.At the end of the reading, the mum-of-three added: “Wow, what an encouraging tale.“We can all feel scared sometimes just like our little owl friend Plop, but as Mrs Barn Own said, ‘It’s better to find out about the things that scare us before we make up our mind’.“And with the help of others, we can often face things that worry us. Now it’s time for bed.

football.london.Broja had not made an appearance for Chelsea before being sent out on loan, though he has always been tipped to have a bright future while working his way up through the academy.With Arteta building a squad with young talents that will improve and create a star-studded squad when those players continue to improve, it is no surprise that the 20-year-old is one of his top targets.But Chelsea are expected to be incredibly reluctant to part ways with their academy graduate given that they are starting to look short of a different option in the final third.Romelu Lukaku has struggled to set the league alight since his return from Inter Milan, and Timo Werner is continuing to look better utilised as a winger rather than through the middle.Discussing Broja earlier this season, Thomas Tuchel said: “He’s our player and he’s doing good, but at the same time it’s only half a season, so he needs to continue to improve and to make his statement at Southampton.“We have a reason why they are our players, they have quality and mentality and now they are out there on their own in different environments and clubs and proving themselves.“Armando’s getting better and better, he’s a very unique player with unique strengths in his game - he has speed, he’s robust and he’s a goalscorer.”Chelsea rejected a bid from Southampton last month for the no.9 which could be a sign of how highly the club rate Broja and thus how unlikely it is that the Stamford Bridge outfit will accept a bid from Arsenal for the star.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticIt takes perhaps a billion years to make a diamond, and just 87 minutes to shatter so many of the misconceptions audiences have about them in “Nothing Lasts Forever.” Make that eight minutes.
