Queen Camilla Steps into the Spotlight as a Crime Novel Protagonist
Get ready for a royal mystery! Queen Camilla, known for her love of crime novels, will be plunging headfirst into one as the main character in British author Peter James' upcoming book, "The Hawk Is Dead."
Queen Camilla's passion for reading has been evident for years, with her staunch support for literature through her charity "The Queen's Reading Room." When she can find time to relax with a book, she often turns to crime fiction, especially works by Peter James, whose books have also inspired the hit TV series "Grace."
In 2021, the queen made a visit to the set and even posed with the show's lead actor, John Simm, who plays Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. According to "The Independent," Her Majesty joked about her affection for James' writings, "I've read them all, from beginning to end."
Did this compliment spark the author's creative imagination? Peter James announced "The Hawk Is Dead" for October this year, revealing that Queen Camilla will join forces with her favorite detective, Roy Grace, in his latest masterpiece.
Insider Access and Authentic Details
James disclosed that he undertook extensive research to bring authenticity to the novel, delving deep into the inner workings of Buckingham Palace. The queen herself and other members of the royal family allegedly shared their insights with him during this process.
In the story, the royal train carrying Queen Camilla faces trouble, sending the queen and Roy Grace on a thrilling adventure through the palace's once-secretive corridors. While King Charles III also has a part in "The Hawk Is Dead," Queen Camilla takes center stage as the leading character.

I'm not going to be able to make it to the release of "The Hawk Is Dead", as I'll be engrossed in its pages, given my love for crime fiction, particularly works by Peter James. Intriguingly, the book features Queen Camilla as the protagonist, collaborating with her favorite detective, Roy Grace, providing an entertaining blend of entertainment and royalty.
