The King likes to do an impression of Harry Potter for his grandchildren, according to Queen Camilla(Image: GETTY)Queen Camilla has revealed that King Charles is quite the entertainer when it comes to his grandchildren, doing a fantastic impression of Harry Potter. In her podcast with author Sir Ian Rankin, The Queen’s Reading Room, Camilla shared that Charles often does these impressions during bedtime stories.
The 76-year-old Royal is known for being very involved with his three eldest grandchildren—Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis, children of Prince William and Princess Kate. His two youngest grandchildren, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet, live in the US with their parents, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Camilla disclosed that King Charles enjoys impersonating Harry Potter and friends, saying: “I think the one I enjoyed reading more than anything else was Harry Potter. All the stories.
“I can’t mimic voices for love or money, I’m completely hopeless at it.

“I was a really bad actor at school, and I’ve never been able to master the art of mimicry, but my husband does it brilliantly; he can do all the voices,” reports the Express.
The Queen’s Reading Room began as an Instagram book club for literature enthusiasts during the pandemic. In February 2023, it evolved into a charity aiming to celebrate the power and benefits of reading.

After welcoming his second grandchild and first granddaughter, the King joyfully shared: “I am thrilled. I was hoping for a granddaughter – someone to look after me when I am very old.”
A charming snapshot captured during the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022 shows the King in an endearing exchange with young Prince Louis. At the event, a fidgety Louis requested to perch on his grandfather’s lap.
