lotradecoin permissions View Date:2024-12-25 16:22:01
Queen Camilla is entering the podcast world.
The queen's charity, The Queen's Reading Room, is set to debut a podcast to promote reading, the charity and book club announced Friday. The nine-episode podcast will be released weekly, starting Jan. 8.
Her majesty will be featured in each episode to contribute her literary favorites.
The series "will create a space where book lovers — and those who wish to connect more with books — can hear straight from the mouths of literary heroes," The Queen's Reading Room said in a release.
"A place for book lovers — and those who wish they loved literature a little more — to be inspired by the bookish confessions of global literary heroes," reads the description accompanying the podcast trailer, in which Camilla appears.

"Don't think I came out from under a chair for a very long time after I saw it for the first time," Camilla says in the trailer, but royal devotees will have to tune into the podcast to find out which title she's discussing.
The podcast will feature eight celebrities and authors discussing literature in their homes, including Sir Ian Rankin, Ann Patchett, Dame Joanna Lumley, David Baddiel, Elif Shafak, Bonnie Garmus, Joseph Coelho and Frank Cottrell-Boyce.
A special episode with lexicographer Susie Dent will close out the series.
The podcast will be available on all podcasting platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

With the podcast, the charity also announced the return of the Queen's Reading Room Festival to the Hampton Court Palace, a historical palace in London, on June 8.
The Queen's Reading Room launched as a book club on Instagram in 2021 with recommendations from the queen and guest curators. The book club was launched as a charity in February, to champion reading around the world, according to its website. The charity works to advance education by promoting reading to adults and children alike and supporting other literary charities.
Camilla, herself an avid reader, said in a Q&A on the website that her love of reading started early on.
"It certainly came from my father who is probably the best read man I've come across anywhere," she said. "He read to us as children. He chose the books, and we listened. And I think it was his love of books which became ingrained in us, from such an early age."
She loves "all sorts" of books, she said, including fiction, non-fiction, biographies and cookbooks; however "they usually get stolen by my son who is a cookery writer," she said of her son, Tom Parker Bowles.
