Sir Richard Branson’s son Sam has called it ‘an honour’ to take part in Sarah Ferguson’s Fergie and Friends storytime series.
The father-of-two, 35, shared a short video on his Instagram page as he picked up a guitar and strummed along while reading I Am Human by Susan Verde for the royal’s YouTube channel.
Dressed in a simple white t-shirt with several beaded bracelets, Sam looked relaxed as he settled down with his instrument and read aloud from a laptop covered in stickers.
Posting the clip, he commented: ‘It was an honour to share this beautiful story about what it is to be human, for Storytime Series. I thought I’d accompany it with my guitar to help bring the message to life.’

Sharing the clip online, he said: ‘I hope you and your children enjoy! All love, Sam.’
I Am Human: A Book of Empathy, illustrated by Peter Reynolds, offers a meditation on all the great (and challenging) parts of being human, with messages about mistakes and the importance of saying ‘I’m sorry.’
His reading won praise from his followers including Cressida Bonas, who comment on his post with an applauding emoji.
Meanwhile author Susan Verde said she was also blown away by his performance, commenting: ‘Thank you for sharing my book. So incredibly beautiful. My heart is full. I am truly honored.’

It is not known where Sam, who is married to Cressida Bonas’ sister Bellie, is currently isolating.
Sam married society blonde Bellie in a glamorous ceremony on Sir Richard’s game reserve Ulusaba in South Africa in March 2013.
He remains close to Fergie’s family, having been friends with Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice for years.
He co-founded the Big Change Charity with Princess Beatrice, 31, alongside five other friends in 2010 to identify and support charitable projects throughout the UK which will improve the lives of young people.
