**Queen Camilla’s Podcast Debut: A Peek Into Her Literary World**
Queen Camilla, known for her passion for literature and advocacy for literacy, is set to embark on a new venture following in the footsteps of Meghan Markle.
The Queen consort is gearing up to launch her very own podcast series, a move reminiscent of the Duchess of Sussex's Archetype program.
While Meghan Markle delved into dismantling stereotypes surrounding women, Queen Camilla's podcast will revolve around books, literature, and the importance of literacy across all ages.
In the inaugural episode of “Queen's Reading Room” podcast scheduled to premiere on January 8, listeners will get an intimate glimpse into Queen Camilla's personal life and her role as a grandmother.
When asked about her favorite books to read to her grandchildren, the Queen candidly shared, “I think the one I enjoyed reading more than anything else was Harry Potter All the Stories,” as reported by The Telegraph.
Despite her love for reading to her grandchildren, Queen Camilla humorously admitted her inability to mimic voices, confessing, “I can't mimic voices for love or money.
I'm completely hopeless at it.”
She contrasted her own shortcomings with her husband's talent, praising King Charles for his exceptional ability to bring characters to life through voice mimicry.
Years ago, Camilla disclosed how King Charles captivates their grandchildren with his storytelling skills, particularly when reading Harry Potter to them.
The Queen's grandchildren, including her daughter's twins Gus and Louis Lopes and son's children, have been enchanted by their grandfather's animated readings.
The Royal family's bond is further strengthened through these shared literary moments.
With a total of five grandchildren and five step-grandchildren, Queen Camilla's commitment to fostering a love for reading extends beyond her family circle.
Her podcast endeavor is an extension of her “Queen's Reading Room” initiative, which began as an Instagram page and has evolved into a full-fledged charity promoting literacy.
The initiative also includes a literary festival held at Hampton Court Palace, showcasing the Queen's dedication to advancing literacy efforts.
Each episode of the podcast series will feature a segment from Queen Camilla herself, offering insights into her literary preferences and experiences, along with engaging interviews with special guests.
The debut episode will welcome best-selling crime author Peter James, setting the tone for a captivating exploration of the Queen's literary world.
As Queen Camilla prepares to share her passion for books and reading with a wider audience through her podcast, her foray into the realm of digital storytelling marks a significant milestone in her ongoing efforts to champion literacy and celebrate the power of storytelling.
Stay tuned for more intriguing episodes from “Queen's Reading Room,” where the Queen's love for literature shines brightly.
