It\u2019s no secret that the royals are fans of the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d franchise, as Queen Camila, 78, previously revealed that her husband, Charles, 76, would read the books to his grandkids.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does all the voices, because he is a brilliant mimic,\u201d she said in 2017, per the Daily Mail. \u201cI\u2019m not very good. I try to do the voices, but acting isn\u2019t my forte. But he sits down and they all sit with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always think they are going to be wriggling around in the bed, but they sit spellbound. He\u2019s extremely good with children. They love it.\u201d<\/p>\n
