Although it\u2019s meant to be a moment of silence at the end of their chaotic days, The King sometimes disrupts the quietness. Nevertheless, Queen Camilla still finds their ritual endearing.<\/p>\n

The Queen<\/a> continued, \u201cI occasionally, when I\u2019m deep in a book, hear him roaring with laughter<\/a> 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

“We left school quite young because in my day women didn’t go to universities,” she recalled. “So I think reading has been most of my education. You learn much about people, about life. It’s so important to get children reading early.”<\/p>\n

Since joining the Royal Family, Queen Camilla has been a passionate advocate for the importance of literature. In January 2021, she founded The Queen\u2019s Reading Room<\/a>, a charity and online book club working to foster the power and benefits of reading.<\/p>\n
