The Queen has revealed one part of being a grandmother that she isn\u2019t very good at. Queen Camilla<\/a> has five grandchildren through her children with Andrew Parker-Bowles and gained five more when she married King Charles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In the first episode of The Queen\u2019s Reading Room Podcast, Camilla spoke about reading a beloved British book series to her grandchildren. She said: \u201cI think the one I enjoyed reading more than anything else was Harry Potter<\/a>.\u201d Speaking at a literacy event for children, she said: “Sometimes, when we are with my husband in Scotland, he reads them Harry Potter. And he does all the voices, because he is a brilliant mimic.\u201d She said that the King<\/a> is a “brilliant” impressionist and puts on voices for every character when reading the series to her grandchildren. The Queen said on the Reading Room Podcast: “I can\u2019t mimic voices for love or money, I\u2019m completely hopeless at it. I was a really bad actor at school, and I\u2019ve never been able to master the art of mimicry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cBut (the King) sits down and they all sit with him. I always think they are going to be wriggling around in the bed, but they sit spellbound. He’s extremely good with children. They love it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Queen Camilla previously highlighted the King’s talent in a 2018 documentary celebrating his 70th birthday: Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She said: \u201cHe will get down on his knees and crawl about with them for hours, you know, making funny noises and laughing, and my grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Queen Camilla has five grandchildren from her two children, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes. Tom has two children, Lola and Freddy, and Laura has three, Eliza, Gus and Louis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n King Charles also has five grandchildren from his two children, Prince William<\/a> and Prince Harry<\/a>. William has three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Harry has two: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Queen\u2019s Reading Room is a charity launched by Queen Camilla to encourage literacy through a book club. The charity held a festival at Chatsworth last year and will return again this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Queen has revealed one part of being a grandmother that she isn\u2019t very good at.
