Inspired by a book
Camilla dreamed of life at the court of the Sun King
As a girl, Queen Camilla dreamed of a life at the court of the French King Louis XIV. "I remember a book called 'Angélique', written by a woman called Anne Golon, about this beautiful French girl who has a series of completely crazy adventures," the wife of King Charles III told the book podcast "The Queen's Reading Room".
The heroine of the novel ended up at the court of the Sun King. "I think I was about eleven or twelve years old. It was incredibly exciting," said the 76-year-old. "We all wanted to look like her. She was beautiful. I remember it was green eyes, that long golden hair."
Enthusiastic reader
According to her memory, this was the first adult book she read, said Camilla.
The Queen is an avid reader and founded a book club during the pandemic, which has been a charity since 2023.
