Monarch finds comfort in Queen’s unwavering support as she champions key cause
Queen Camilla has once again stepped up for her husband, King Charles, offering him comfort as he faces a series of emotional setbacks.
The Queen, who has been a steadfast source of strength throughout the monarch’s cancer battle and other challenges, was by his side after he received heartbreaking news of the passing of two major figures. The King recently mourned the loss of Sir Julius Chan, the former Papua New Guinea politician, and Aga Khan, whom he considered “a personal friend of many years.”
Amidst this difficult time, Buckingham Palace released an update on Camilla’s latest royal engagement, highlighting her ongoing commitment to literature and education.
"Celebrating the wonderful work of @TheLondonLibrary!" the Palace announced. "Last night, The Queen attended a dinner to highlight the Library’s charitable work to support writers and widen access to its vast resources—including 1 million books available to borrow from its shelves.”
The statement continued, “Her Majesty, as Patron, has supported the Library since 2012 and is a passionate champion of the benefits of reading at all ages.”
The engagement, which took place just hours after Charles’ emotional tribute to Sir Julius Chan, saw Camilla meet with renowned figures including Helena Bonham Carter and Stephen Fry. Her presence and dedication to royal duties served as a welcome distraction for the grieving King, bringing a rare moment of lightness to a challenging period.
