Queen Camilla<\/a> is getting candid about one of King Charles\u2019<\/a> most \u201coff-putting\u201d habits. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband and I actually read before dinner. We just like sitting quietly and reading,\u201d Camilla says in a new BBC documentary, \u201cThe Book That Changed My Life.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI occasionally \u2015 when I\u2019m deep in a book \u2015 hear him roaring with laughter about something. It\u2019s very off-putting,\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cI can\u2019t get back into my book, or I\u2019ll suddenly start weeping, but it\u2019s a lovely, quiet time.\u201d <\/p>\n

The queen is an avid supporter of literature, and said in the documentary that \u201cif there\u2019s no reading, personally we might as well all give up. Because I don\u2019t think we\u2019d even be human any longer.\u201d <\/p>\n

She also spoke about how impactful reading was on her own life, as Camilla said she \u201cleft school quite young.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIn my day, women didn\u2019t go to university, so I think reading has been most of my education,\u201d the royal shared<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Camilla is an incredibly passionate reader, and even launched her own book club, called The Queen\u2019s Reading Room.<\/p>\n

The Reading Room has an annual festival, regularly shares book recommendations through social media, and even gives out a Queen\u2019s Reading Room Medal<\/a>, which \u201ccelebrates the extraordinary \u2018reading heroes\u2019 who champion books and storytelling across the nation.\u201d <\/p>\n

On the charity\u2019s website<\/a>, Camilla writes that \u201cbooks \u2014 from authors around the globe \u2014 have enriched my life since I was a child.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has therefore been such a joy to watch my Reading Room grow over the years into a thriving book community,\u201d she added. \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 <\/p>\n
