I have such amazing respect for Camilla and her continued work on the topic :flowers:

Violence against women is a topic that once again is taboo still to talk to. The see but don't speak kind of attitude to domestic abuse in many cases. She has worked so hard to cast a light on the work including promoting the work for toiletry kits for sexual assault victims. Its not one of those 'trendy' patronage themes and one more people need to speak out on.

I wish Camilla got more attention. She really does great work for causes :flowers:
 
Lovely to see Camilla add her support to BBC's Strictly Come Dancing final tonight. She's right about it bringing people together & I'm intrigued to know who she voted for!
 
Yes it was a lovely addition to the show! IIRC the royals are fans of Strictly, I remember reading Sophie took Louise to be in the audience for her 15th birthday.

I enjoyed Strictly Come Dancing as well and often read some other forums/thread for updates and different perspectives! :flowers:

I was watching clips of the contestants' routine on the Strictly's youtube channel and did not watch the full episode of the final. Thank you Lilyflo, HereditaryPrincess and eya for letting us know about Camilla's appearance. I totally agree with her on how Strictly lifted the public and country's spirit.

Too many people have forgotten the benefits from sitting quiet and just reading a book these days. As a fellow bookaholic, it warms my heart every time I hear that Camilla is also one of us and promoting the love of books.

In the spirit of Camilla also campaigning for rescue dogs, I offer this quote:

"“Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.” ~~ Groucho Marx :D
 
With so many of us living in places where are libraries and bookstores are closed to us, this should be a wonderful new source. ?
 
Wonderful idea and bravo to the duchess!
 
As someone who loves books and loves reading, I think this is just fabulous. Thank you, Camilla !
 
Camilla's devotion to her literacy patronages/charities is something that I greatly admire. While I currently an missing going into the library or bookstore and pick up/browse the books, this is a fantastic substitution.
 
What a great idea!
 
Coming from a total book worm who longs for the days of libraries and book stores, I was so happy to see this. Such a wonderful idea.

Camilla really has been dedicated to her literacy charities from day one.
 
This project fits her like a glove. A great initiative.
 
:previous: Thank you for sharing this today. As an educator and parent I know the thrill when children have progressed past merely recognizing the sound/symbol relationship and for English language readers have memorized their sight words (is, of, the etc...) and now can visualize and fully comprehend the text for fiction and non-fiction. This is the culmination of a journey that truly begins in infancy as children begin to be receptive to language. My heart breaks for those denied the opportunity to learn how to read for a wide variety of reasons.



I am so pleased that Camilla is sharing her personal story of her lifelong love of reading.
 
As Chancellor of the University of Aberdeen the Duchess of Rothesay participated in a virtual celebration of Robert Burns:

 
"Today, we’re thrilled and delighted to share a special message of congratulations from HRH The Duchess of Cornwall to mark the 10th anniversary of Flowers from the Farm."

Yet another of her down to earth, practical charities. The way her mind works never ceases to impress me.
 
The Duchess of Cornwall did an interview with Claire Cohen from The Telegraph on domestic violence and abuse at 7th May. She mentioned about how this topic is close to her heart.

Duchess of Cornwall: ‘We all know someone in an abusive relationship’
We join Her Royal Highness on a visit to a domestic abuse refuge – and learn why it is a cause so close to her heart
