Anyone who supports an event that advocates a love of reading and books certainly receives high marks in my own book!
Love the speech! She hit the nail on the head! Way to go, Camilla!
BTW Daria, I know, another person out there who feels the same about books....

I couldn't agree more with Camilla and the rest of you!
Books are like gateways to another, magical world where only your imagination is the limit. Nothing could ever replace them.
So agree. With books becoming extinct it seems I take my hat off to Camilla. Books are becoming an endangered species. Cheers to Camilla!!
Let's see here-I think I know whom you're referring to. Goodness, Robert Hardy could just sign himself up to work the engagements along with Camila, and some other members of the BRF. They appear to share the same passions, and I love seeing that
A drama group for people in prison? How awesome is that?I adore 'Les Miserables' (and all other works of Boublil and Schonberg, minus 'Miss Saigon'), and I'm glad Her Highness got to see it too. The story has a wonderful and touching message.
Let's see here-
Horses with H.M.
- Crossbows with the POW and Harry
-Reading with Camilla
- Disabled/ Sick Children with, William, Catherine, and Sophie.
I can see that.....
You have to admit, Camilla has become a real asset for the Royal Family. Quietly, unassumingly, with dedication and charm, the Duchess found her niche.
The Duchess of Cornwall has always been at ease around horses.But it looks as though she has also mastered the art of communicating with them as she appeared to be telling off one particular equine, who nudged her out of the way, giving her a bit of a fright.But Camilla, who was opening the King George VI Lines at The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Woolwich, didn't let the incident put her off and appeared relaxed as she continued to feed the horses mints.
Absolutely priceless and hysterical!The Duchess of Cornwall visit The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery today, and opened the King George VI Lines. She also met service personnel and present operational medals. A lovely article on the visit:
THE DUCHESS AND THE WAR HORSE: CAMILLA GETS MORE THAN SHE BARGAINED FOR
- Camilla feeding the horse polo mints
- Telling off the horse after the "incident"
- All is well that ends well: the Duchess gives the horse a pat on its nose
One of the reasons I've grown to like Camilla so much; she's a good sport! Never angry or put off, just carrying on with grace and humour.

@ Daria- Is it just me, or can you totally see RH and S. here too, laughing their heads off?
Great story, Artemisia, and Camilla's reaction is so apropos of her ability to handle situations with her own brand of humor and style. She rolls with the punches, so to speak, and is just so unfazed by the unexpected. I'm not surprised by her reaction, give she's an expert horsewoman, and this is why she's increasingly endeared herself to the public.
Yes, those pictures are a complete 'All Creatures Great and Small' moment. I can see Siegfried as well as Robert Hardy (actor that played the famous vet) get a kick out of something like this.

Thier idea of heaven on earth, need I say more?
Oh, boy, here we go again with the POW brooch! I thought there were two brooches in the collection and this is not the one Diana wore.
The hats.....
The Duchess of Cornwall has attended the 'Ladies Day' at the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival
in Gloucestershire on March 14, 2012.
** dailymail: That's a furry nice hat, Camilla.. **
I've tried leaving a comment pointing out the mistake with the brooch. Surprise, surprise they've chosen not to publish it.
