Little Princess is a fun British children's television series that started in 2006. It was created by The Illuminated Film Company. The show is all about a curious and energetic Little Princess.

The stories are narrated by Julian Clary for the first three seasons, and by Rufus Jones for season four. Jane Horrocks provides the voice of the Little Princess.
