On Thursday, Queen Consort Camilla, joined by King Charles, brought together authors, members of the literary community and representatives of literacy charities to celebrate the second anniversary of ‘The Queens Reading Room’.
The Queen’s Reading Room is a charity which strives to provide opportunities for the appreciation of literature for adults and children in the UK and around the world.
It launched on Instagram in January 2021 with reading recommendations from the Queen Consort.
It started with Charlie Mackesy and his beautifully illustrated “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse”. Since then, there have been eight complete series with four very different but equally compelling books chosen by Her Majesty appearing in each series.
All books featured in the Queen’s Reading Room have been chosen for their educational, literary or historical value and have been rigorously judged by the charity’s board of directors.
