Queen Letizia of Spain and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom share a deep affinity that transcends their titles as queen consorts: both are passionate about reading.
This interest forms an important part of their personal lives and agendas, especially during vacations, when they enjoy the free time offered by the break from their official responsibilities.
Queen Letizia has always been an avid reader, a passion she has passed on to her daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia.
Queen Letizia and Queen Camilla’s hobby
Queen Camilla, for her part, has devoted much of her time to promoting reading through initiatives such as The Queen’s Reading Room, a charity club that promotes both British and international literature.
In a podcast, Queen Camilla expressed that vacations are her perfect opportunity to read “compulsively,” as the official schedule allows her little time to enjoy this activity during the rest of the year.
Both queens not only enjoy reading as a pastime but also keep up with literary novelties and actively participate in literature-related events.
Queen Letizia, for example, is a constant presence at the Book Fair, demonstrating her commitment to promoting reading in her country.
In short, Queen Letizia and Queen Camilla not only share the title of queen consort but also a passion that enriches their lives and those around them.
Literature has become a bond that unites them, offering a refuge and a space for personal growth in their respective busy schedules.
