Queen Camilla, who is a bookworm, celebrated the success of her charity.
"Five years ago, I founded a book club in lockdown, in the hope that others might derive as much enjoyment from good literature as I do," Camilla told the press association, per
Daily Express.

"I am so proud of what my charity has achieved, reaching millions of people, staging remarkable events and partnering with incredible organisations to bring books to people who need them most," Queen Camilla continued.

Queen Camilla later noted how science backs the importance of enjoying literature.
"Its groundbreaking research has confirmed what many of us always felt: reading truly changes how we perceive, how we think and how we connect," Camilla said.

"At a time when global reading rates are at their very lowest, my charity's mission feels more urgent than ever," Queen Camilla continued. "Books do make life better, and this is only the beginning."
