The Duchess of Cornwall, Camilia joined in the celebration of the World Book Day with a visit to a Primary School in London.
Camilia who loves reading encouraged the children to put aside their mobile phones and read a book before bedtime.
In her words: “When I was young, which was about 100 years ago, I was lucky enough to have a father who read to us every night and we were transported into a myriad of exciting new adventures. I read to my children and now my grandchildren, although nowadays they read to me!
If I can give you one piece of advice before I leave, it is to put down your phones and pick up a book, especially before you go to bed.”
The Royal was dressed in a navy blue zip up jacket, a floaty mid-length skirt and knee-high boots.
The Duchess of Cornwall joked about her plans to steal the Crown Jewels referring to David Walliams’ popular comedy fiction novel for children, Gangsta Granny.
She said: “Books can take you anywhere – a bit like stepping into your very own Tardis. You can play Quidditch with Harry Potter, win the golden ticket to Charlie’s Chocolate Factory, go on a secret mission with Alex Rider, or if you are like me, become a Gangsta Granny and plot to steal the Crown Jewels.”
