Queen Camilla recently took center stage in royal engagements by hosting a special event at Clarence House to mark the 30th anniversary of the National Literacy Trust, an occasion that spotlighted her commitment to literacy and community service.
In a video shared on The Royal Family’s official account, the Queen Consort appeared enthusiastic and engaged as she interacted with volunteers, authors, and supporters of the trust. The event underscored her role as the Patron of the charity, celebrating its significant milestone.
The National Literacy Trust has played a crucial role in supporting families with young children, helping them develop essential literacy skills to succeed in life. According to the palace spokesperson, Queen Camilla hosted the gathering to honor the 'literacy champions' who promote reading and literacy through enjoyable and inclusive activities across the UK.
The statement accompanying the video highlighted the Trust's impact, stating, "The NLT’s volunteers, or literacy champions, are located in communities across the UK and work to show that literacy is for everyone through fun events and activities. Keep up the good work."
This prominent role comes at a time when Princess Kate, known for her charity work, is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy and has stepped back from the public eye.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond noted that Queen Camilla appears "sleeker, smarter, and more stylish than ever," suggesting that the Queen Consort has grown in confidence as she steps up in royal duties during Kate’s absence. This event not only emphasizes Camilla's active involvement in her patronages but also her evolving presence within the royal family.
