Queen Camilla's Thrilling Adventure: The Queen Steps into a Crime Novel!
Camilla, Queen Consort, takes center stage as the lead protagonist in her preferred crime novel
Dive into a whirlwind of royal mystery and suspense as our beloved Queen Consort, Camilla, takes center stage in British author Peter James' latest crime novel, The Hawk Is Dead. This intriguing tale, set to hit shelves in October, promises a captivating blend of fiction and fact, as Queen Camilla lands a leading role alongside her on-page companion, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace.
Queen Camilla's affection for crime novels is no secret. With her charitable organization, "The Queen's Reading Room," she's been championing literature, particularly for young readers, for years. When she's not busy with royal duties, she often turns to her favorite British author, Peter James, whose works have been brilliantly adapted into the hit TV series "Grace."
A chance encounter in 2021, where Queen Camilla visited the set and struck a pose with star John Simm (who portrays Detective Roy Grace), sparked widespread excitement. The queen reportedly joked that she'd read all of Peter James' books and couldn't get enough of his gripping stories[4].
Was this flattery too much for the author to resist? According to Instagram, Peter James has indeed immortalized Queen Camilla in The Hawk Is Dead. The story revolves around the derailment of the royal train, as Roy Grace dives deep into the heart of Buckingham Palace to solve a murder and investigate a chilling plot involving the royal family[1][3].
The queen's son, King Charles III, also makes an appearance in this enthralling novel. Yet, it's Queen Camilla's role that takes center stage, making this book a must-read for die-hard crime fiction fans and royal watchers alike[2].
