Queen Camilla has long been a supporter of authors and books, taking her Queen's Reading Room project from an Instagram book club to a full-fledged charity. The Queen promotes literacy around the world and often hosts literature events, including the annual Queen's Reading Room Festival. But one bestselling British author who has participated in the Reading Room charity recently made remarks about the monarchy being inappropriate for "modern" times.
Per the Daily Mail's Eden Confidential column, Philippa Gregory—famous for her historical royal novels like The Other Boleyn Girl and The White Queen—made the comments on the U.K.'s Radio 3 "Private Passions" program.
