Queen Camilla is an avid reader and founded a book club during the pandemic, which has been a charity since 2023.
As a girl, Queen Camilla dreamed of a life at the court of the French King Louis XIV. “I remember a book called ‘Angélique’ written by a woman called Anne Golon, which is about this beautiful French woman who has a series of completely crazy adventures,” said the wife of King Charles III . the book podcast “The Queen’s Reading Room”.
The novel’s heroine ended up at the Sun King’s court. “I think I was about 11 or 12 years old. It was incredibly exciting,” said the 76-year-old. “We all wanted to look like her. She was beautiful. I remember it was green eyes, that long golden hair.” As far as she remembers, it was the first adult book that she had read, said Camilla.
