Queen Camilla's Royal Encounters: From Fashion to Feminism
Queen Elizabeth II greeted her close friends, including Dame Judi Dench and Joanna Lumley, with a kiss on each cheek at a royal reception hosted by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, for The Queen's Reading Room's first festival at Hampton Court Palace. While guests traditionally offer a curtsey or bow, there are no obligatory rules on greeting the royal family. The Queen's Reading Room is a charity aiming to develop the appreciation of literature among adults and children in the UK and around the world. The festival included various acts of entertainment, such as a showing of Austentatious, the award-winning comedy seen in the West End and heard on Radio 4.
