Queen Camilla once revealed that King Charles<\/a> does a brilliant impression of Harry Potter to impress his grandchildren<\/a>. Speaking previously on The Queen\u2019s Reading Room, her podcast with writer Sir Ian Rankin, Camilla<\/a> said her husband does the impressions while reading bedtime stories<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old is known to be an extremely hands-on with his three eldest grandfather to Prince William<\/a> and Princess Kate’s children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and seven-year-old Prince Louis. His two youngest grandchildren, Prince Archie, six, and four-year-old Princess Lilibet in the US with Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Revealing that the King likes to do an impression of Harry Potter and friends, she said: “I think the one I enjoyed reading more than anything else was Harry Potter. All the stories.<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t mimic voices for love or money I\u2019m completely hopeless at it.<\/p>\n

I was a really bad actor at school and I\u2019ve never been able to master the art of mimicry but my husband does it brilliantly, he can do all the voices.”<\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s Reading Room was initially launched as an Instagram<\/a> book club set up for literature lovers during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

It was later launched as a charity in February 2023 with the mission of celebrating the power and benefits of reading.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the time of George’s birth in 2013, the King said that he was “overjoyed” to have become a grandfather. He said: “Grandparenthood is a unique moment in anyone’s life, as countless kind people have told me in recent months, so I am enormously proud and happy to be a grandfather for the first time.”<\/p>\n

Following the birth of his second grandchild, and first granddaughter, he revealed: “I am thrilled. I was hoping for a granddaughter \u2013 someone to look after me when I am very old.”<\/p>\n

The King was pictured sharing a sweet moment with his second-born grandson Louis in 2022. Pictured at the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, a restless Louis asked to sit on his grandpa’s knee. The sweet pictures show the then-four-year-old being bounced up and down by the now-King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Camilla once revealed that King Charles does a brilliant impression of Harry Potter to impress his grandchildren.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,1760,518,42436,1761,7283,1762,7710,519],"class_list":{"0":"post-258822","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-charles","10":"tag-charles-iii","11":"tag-king-charles","12":"tag-king-charles-iii","13":"tag-king-charles-royal-family","14":"tag-prince-george","15":"tag-prince-louis","16":"tag-princess-charlotte","17":"tag-royal-families","18":"tag-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114840085676456735","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
