We just like sitting quietly and reading,\u201d Queen Camilla revealed.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to explain, \u201cI occasionally, when I\u2019m deep in a book, hear him roaring with laughter about something. It\u2019s very off-putting, I can\u2019t get back into my book, or I\u2019ll suddenly start weeping, but it\u2019s a lovely, quiet time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would be a complete and utter tragedy if books went forever,\u201d Camilla continued, \u201cIt\u2019s part of our heritage, if there\u2019s no reading, personally [I think] we might as well all give up. Because I don\u2019t think we\u2019d even be human any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Queen further said that reading is \u201clike the best tonic in the world.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She also opened up about her teenage fascination about romance novels and how she used to read D.H. Lawrence\u2019s controversial literary work, , Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover, in 1960s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs teenagers you read a lot of romances. It was the moment of Lady Chatterley, under our pillows, reading that by torchlight. You know the minute something is forbidden, you want to get hold of it,\u201d Queen Camilla added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI left school quite young. In my day, women didn\u2019t go to university, so I think reading has been most of my education,\u201d she added further.<\/p>\n<p>It is pertinent to mention here that Camilla founded an online book club, the Queen\u2019s Reading Room in 2021 during Covid-19 before developing it into a charity.   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has therefore been such a joy to watch my Reading Room grow over the years into a thriving book community,\u201d Camilla said this about her book club in the documentary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow a charity, I hope that we, together with our partners, can foster in adults and children alike a lifelong love of literature and connect more people with that special magic that can only be found in the leaves of a book,\u201d she noted further.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Charles puts Queen Camilla off with his THIS habit Queen Camilla got candid about her book club.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-371144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
