Her Majesty, Queen Camilla is passionate about literacy. She is Royal Patron of the Royal Society of Literature, a champion of literacy projects, and of activity projects for older people.

In our inaugural year, Her Majesty joined one of our Poetry Together Tea Parties, along with a host of primary and secondary schools, care homes, and intergenerational clubs. She recited the opening lines from ‘Matilda’ by Hilaire Belloc, with four local children from Knightsbridge School.
