After a very hard time, Queen Camilla has regained her smile in a very special evening. Carlos III’s wife has been praised for her exceptional efforts to promote literature and the habit of reading and for this she has received an Honorary Doctorate in Literature. It should be remembered that less than a month ago, he had to cancel all his commitments and his official agenda due to a “chest infection” that caused him an annoying cough for several days. Added to this is that last week his dog died, “who brought so much joy to his life and was his great companion.”
The Queen’s attendance at this award shows that she has now recovered. “It was a special evening for Her Majesty The Queen, who was awarded an honorary doctorate in London by the Chancellor of the University of London, Princess Anne. Literature. The doctorate was awarded to the Queen, an avid reader, in recognition of her promotion of literacy and literature in the United Kingdom and across the Commonwealth, over many years, visiting schools, libraries, workplaces and even prisons.” , reads the statement shared by the British Royal House.
In addition, they explain the reason why they have awarded her this doctorate: “Her Majesty is patron of several organizations that support and promote literacyand has visited many schools, libraries, workplaces and prisons to see the work of literacy programs in action.” These honorary degrees have been awarded since 1908 and Queen Camilla is not the first royal to receive this honor, like the remembered King George V and Queen Mary.
For years, Queen Camilla has sponsored events that promote and support literacy, including National Literary Trust, First Story, Coram Beanstalk and BookTrust. In January 2021, he launched The Queen’s Reading Room like an online reading club with its own recommendations and a space to meet some of your favorite authors. The project grew into a podcast and later became a charity to promote the benefits of reading.
Your painful loss
Less than a week ago, the British Royal House announced the death of their dog through a publication on their official account: “Sad farewell. Beth, who brought so much joy and was the Queen’s companion, has left.” Both Beth and Bluebell were adopted by queen camilla at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home Old Windsor — an animal shelter and care center — . Since then, the two Jack Russell Terriers have accompanied the Kings on numerous royal engagements. Even, as we can see in the snapshot that accompanies these lines, they captured all eyes on the 15th wedding anniversary of Carlos III and his wife — in 2020 — when they were included in their official pose.
