Queen Camilla delivers powerful speech at 2025 Cliveden Literary Festival\u00a0<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla has officially opened the 2025 Cliveden Literary Festival without her husband, King Charles III. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, October 11, Her Majesty visited the Clock Tower Stage, accompanied by the British historian and festival’s founder, Simon Sebag Montefiore, to kick off the festival. <\/p>\n

During the royal event, the 78-year-old British Queen hosted a reception for authors, festival supporters, charity partners, and students from the London Academy of Excellence.<\/p>\n

She also delivered a powerful speech to mark the eighth Cliveden Literary Festival, where she met Indian-British novelist Salman Rushdie, Sir Jonathan Bate, and Dame Marina Warner.<\/p>\n

In her historical lecture at the prestigious event, King Charles’ wife focused on the importance of reading and studying literature.<\/p>\n

She further encouraged youngsters to pursue their career in writing as well.<\/p>\n

The evening concludes with a reception hosted by Camilla in the French Dining Room at Cliveden House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to media reports, festival speakers, supporters, students from the London Academy of Excellence, and a representative of Book Aid International, one of the festival’s charity partners, were invited for the memorable occasion. <\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, Queen Camilla’s Reading Room was launched by her in 2023 and is a charity that promotes the transformative power of books in the UK and beyond.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Camilla delivers powerful speech at 2025 Cliveden Literary Festival\u00a0 Queen Camilla has officially opened the 2025 Cliveden…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":491304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7730,7731,1760,7710,519],"class_list":{"0":"post-491303","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-royal-families","13":"tag-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115356240821627420","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491303","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=491303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
