Queen Camilla
Person
Born
Queen Camilla has been patron of BookTrust, the UK's largest children's reading charity, since 2011, and supports other literacy charities including the National Literacy Trust and Coram Beanstalk. During lockdown in 2021 she started an online book club that became The Queen's Reading Room charity in 2023, with a festival, podcast and a medal for local reading champions. Royal patronage is easy to dismiss, but hers is unusually hands-on and long-lasting.
