Queen Camilla<\/a> is making her film debut this autumn in an exciting new documentary. The Queen<\/a> announced that she is \u201cdelighted\u201d to be a part of a \u201cmajor new documentary\u201d from Blink Films and the BBC<\/a>, which \u201cwill showcase the life-transforming power of books.\u201d The film will be the first major documentary to follow Queen Camilla in her own right, fittingly themed around her love of books<\/a> and passion for reading.<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla told guests that \u201cmy father\u2019s and my own experience\u201d with reading will be included in the documentary, \u201cfor which the cameras are filming here today.” In a speech during an event for The Queen\u2019s Reading Room<\/a>, a flurry of camera men were hard to miss amongst the guests and royal team. Attendees at the events included big names like Stanley Tucci, Sigourney Weaver, and Richard Osman, who were likely unfazed by the presence of a film crew.<\/p>\n

The documentary coincides with the National Year of Reading, a year-long national reading campaign that Queen Camilla<\/a> has passionately supported. The initiative is lead by the UK\u2019s Department for Education as new research shows \u201creading for pleasure is in decline across many groups,\u201d which supporters hope to change by \u201creconnecting reading with everyday culture.\u201d The film will dive into The Queen\u2019s lifelong passion for reading, from her childhood to present, and her relationship with her late father, Bruce Shand. The Queen once described her father as “probably the best-read man I’ve come across anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
