I'm glad that she was able to attend the engagement despite the storm problems.
That's a long drive for a woman with a history of back issues.

That's commitment. Glad that she was able to drive in.

I don't believe this report on the BBC News/Culture website (Queen Camilla chooses novel imagining Charles as hostage for book club) which mentions The Telegraph story (The Queen selects once-scandalous thriller for book club). The articles claim Her Majesty chose "The Lord's Day" by Dobbs as a recommended read on her Reading Room site. I read the book. It's a good read but I cannot ever believe the Queen would have promoted it because it deals with a horrifying kidnapping of the King and his mother. I searched the Queen's Reading Room site and did not see the book listed, but I don't see a retraction or correction of the story by the BBC. Does anyone know if she ever listed the book or is the whole story a hoax?

The Lords Day was one of the selected books for the current series of the book club, the BBC is correct.
