Royal Family News – Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall Is Married To Prince Charles
The Duchess of Cornwall and Charles were recorded reading extracts of Charles Dickens’ legendary work A Christmas Carol. The recordings will be posted on social media and run through the 12 days of Christmas.
The series will begin on Christmas Day and are broadcast via @DuchessofCornwallsReadingRoom on Instagram. Prince Charles begins the readings about the tale of geezer Ebenezer Scrooge who rediscovers the magic of Christmas.
The Duchess of Cornwall’s Reading Room, an online literary hub, debuted in January 2021. It was inspired by the success of the duchess’s reading lists which she shared during the pandemic lockdown in 2020. It offers book recommendations and exclusive insight from the authors themselves.
Miriam Margolyes, Paterson Joseph, Sir Derek Jacobi, Simon Callow, Stephen Mangan and Bridgette Amofah also taped readings.
