Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall will be encouraging a “real focus” on the Commonwealth with her new project. The senior royal is launching an Instagram page dedicated to books and reading. ITV Royal Rota podcast hosts Chris Ship and Lizzie Robinson discussed Camilla’s drive behind the venture.
Ms Robinson told listeners: “We know how passionate the Duchess of Cornwall is about reading and literacy.
“She’s the patron of numerous organisations related to it.

Mr Ship continued: “The Reading Room will suggest four titles, and there’ll be discussions with the authors of those titles.
“Then throughout the seasons, there will be new books added to the list.
“They want it to feel global, there’ll be a real focus on authors from across the Commonwealth.
“There’ll also be a range of different types of literature.”

He added: “I think it’s just embracing one of her big passions.
“She recently had a conversation with one author who ended up on a lot of Christmas present lists last year.”
As a teaser ahead of the January 15, the Duchess spoke virtually to Charlie Mackesy, who wrote ‘The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse’.
