Fresh off a lighthearted visit to the famous Heywood Hill bookshop, Queen Camilla’s week took a more solemn turn on Wednesday, July 15 as she shared some rare comments about her personal grief. The Queen hosted a reception in the gardens of Clarence House to mark the 40th anniversary of her patronage the Royal Osteoporosis Society, and she opened up about the pain her family faced following her mother’s death.
Queen Camilla has been involved with the charity since 1994, telling the guests at Clarence House why the organization was so close to her heart. “That same year, my dear mother had died as a result of osteoporosis,” she said.
