To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Queen Camilla’s Reading Room, a new portrait was released with a heartwarming message attached.

“Since those humble beginnings, that book club has grown into a global charity, supporting a community of book lovers, united by a shared belief in the power of reading.

In what is thought to be one of his last appearances before taking his annual summer break, King Charles visited RAF Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland to learn more about the capabilities of the Royal Air Force base.
The monarch is an RAF veteran as well as being Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
The King attended a stand up parade for Number 42 as well as watching a flypast of two Typhoon bombers and P-8A Poseidon aircraft. A brass band later played God Save The King where Charles thanked families for their “encouragement and understanding”.
“Today, we also recognise the vital role played by your families and friends, some of whom I am delighted to see can join us,” he said. “Their unwavering support is the foundation upon which this squadron’s success is built.
“It is their encouragement and understanding that enable you all to dedicate yourselves so fully to your duties.”
While King Charles was greeted with smiles and cheers, one small attendee had a diffferent reaction.
Cameras captured a baby overwhelmed by the commotion as his mother attempted to console him. King Charles was quick to share a smile and a joke with the duo, dressed in his full insignia.

King Charles donned Balmoral tartan – a royal pattern designed by Prince Albert in the 1850s and reserved for use by the sovereign – at the annual Mey Highland Games in Caithness.
The event was established in 1970 to mark the Queen Mother’s 70th birthday. Furthermore, King Charles took on the role of Chieftain of the event after his grandmother’s passing in 2002.
His Majesty presided over the event, which comprised classic Highland competitions such as tug o’war, massed pipe bands, Highland dancing, and Caber tossing.
Cheering on enthusiastically, he was accompanied by his cousin, Lady Sarah Chatto. After partaking in a few drams of local whiskies, he used a walking stick to traverse the uneven grounds as he laughed and waved to the crowd.
King Charles is currently on his annual summer break at Balmoral.

Queen Camilla made a surprise appearance at King George Day on Saturday, 26 July 2025, at Ascot Racecourse. It was part of the two‑day King George Racing Weekend.

While King Charles did not attend this particular day, Queen Camilla stepped in and presented the trophy for the flagship King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

King Charles and Queen Camilla spent a day out at the Sandringham Flower Show. They arrived in a carriage once owned by Queen Victoria.
The annual event, now in its 142nd year, is held on their Norfolk estate. The proceeds go to local charities.
With around 20,000 visitors attending, the Sandringham Flower Show is a favourite in the royal calendar. The late Queen Mother was a particular fan. Last year, the King had just returned to work following his cancer diagnosis. As a result of his lightened duties, he pulled out of the event in 2024.
It was the first time in its long history that no royal member attended.
Next year, the Sandringham Flower Show will pause to make way for the Royal Horticultural Society Event.
During the day, they chatted to exhibitors and members of local horticulture and gardening clubs as well as charity supporters. Camilla took a look at some dog-themed cakes, remarking that her rescue puppy Moley was “very naughty.”
“I think I only have one shoe left,” she laughed.
This is the last major engagement for the royal couple ahead of their summer retreat to Balmoral.

The event, filmed for a Netflix documentary marking The King’s Trust’s 50th anniversary, featured testimonies from victims, youth workers, and campaigners.
King Charles was visibly moved by the story of Kyle Shaw Tullin, a stabbing survivor turned Royal Marine. “The key is delivery,” he said.

The documentary will explore the Trust’s legacy and impact on young lives across the UK.

After England narrowly defeated the Indian cricket team in the third test at Lord’s, King Charles II welcomed members of the visiting men’s and women’s cricket teams on the garden grounds of Clarence House.
Board of Control for Cricket in India Vice President Rajeev Shukla said the monarch had “done his homework” ahead of the visit. And that he received them “very well.”
“Players are very happy because he asked all personal details of each player,” Rajeev told The Times of India.
“He had found out so many details. He sounded like a gentleman, and it did not seem we were talking to the King of England. There is a lot of humility in him and team is very happy to meet him.”

Queen Camilla has unveiled a new photo of her rescue pooch Moley! The dog-loving royal adopted the super-cute puppy, thought to be part Jack Terrier, in February. The pup was adopted from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, for which Camilla is Patron.
Kensington Palace posted the photo of the newest member of the royal family on its Instagram page.
“Whilst Moley was keeping cool at home, she wishes she could have been reunited with some of her old friends,” the caption said. It went on to share some tips for how to keep dogs safe in the current British summer heat.
In addition to Moley, Queen Camilla has a Jack Russell Terrier called Bluebell. Bluebell was also adopted from Battersea.
Camilla’s latest trip to the charity was to unveil a new dog garden, which was designed “as a blueprint for all the things dogs love, and will provide Battersea with a tranquil space for the rescue dogs in their care, allowing them to spend time away from the kennel environment in a serene, natural setting.”

For only the third time in history, a non-UK-based unit has been appointed to perform duties as the King’s Life Guard.
The Canadian regiment Lord Strathcona’s Horse, which is celebrating its 125th anniversary, will be performing duties from 11-21 July. The 26-member unit was invited by King Charles. It has been practising with the mounts, which are larger than the quarter horses they traditionally ride in their homeland.
“It’s quite an honour to be asked to come over here, to participate, to be able to help support, to have the riders come and do the ceremonial task for our sovereign,” Major Colin Peterson, the officer commanding C Squadron with Lord Strathcona’s Horse, said.
Organised by the British Army’s Household Division, the King’s Life Guard and mounted sentry postings are responsible for ceremonial duties. In addition, they also guard the entrance of Buckingham Palace and St James Palace. They also participate in the Changing the Guard ceremony.

Queen Camilla was all smiles as she spent a day giving thanks to a variety of charitable organisations.
Camilla spent time at Lower Shockerwick Farm, near Bath in Somerset. She is Patron for Jamie’s Farm. This is a centre which works with young people typically aged between 11 and 16, who are at risk of social or academic exclusion. This could be due to challenges with behaviour, attendance, or mental health.
Unveiling a commemorative plaque, she also watered the flowerbeds and got to work making cupcakes with some of the children, sampling their homemade lemon curd during the process.
During her visit, she handed out cuttings and seeds for plants including foxgloves, hollyhocks, mint, rosemary and blackcurrant, which she’d brought from her private home. “I hope I can come back and see them thriving,” she said.
Camilla also attended Wiltshire and Swindon Community Foundation’s 50th anniversary celebration. Hosted at Wellington Barn in Calne, Wiltshire, the Foundation has given out more than £26.8m (AUD$55.3m) in grants to tackle local issues including domestic abuse, poverty, rural isolation, mental health, education and employment.

Forty years ago, King Charles began an initiative of having an artist accompany him on royal tours. And now Buckingham Palace is celebrating with The King’s Tour Artists exhibition.
Showcasing 70 works that were produced during royal tours to 95 countries and regions since 1985, this is the first time the tour artists work has been brought together. There are 43 artists in total and for many, it is the first time these works produced on tour have been shown publicly.
Prince Charles and Queen Camilla were on hand to chat to the artists as well as reminisce over the times they were produced.
“It is His Majesty’s project, it’s his scheme,” exhibition curator Kate Heard, Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Royal Collection Trust said . It’s wonderful to see it and to be able to display it.
“These wonderful works have such variety. The fact that each artist responds in their own way, is given the freedom to respond in their own way, it’s a real act of exciting patronage.”

Queen Camilla turned heads on the final day of Royal Ascot with a stunning diamond brooch with a surprising history. And while the extravagant piece was part of Queen Elizabeth II’s private collection, it doesn’t appear the late Monarch herself ever wore the brooch publicly, marking its first outing in close to a century.
Banking heiress Alice de Rothschild commissioned the unusual piece as a wedding gift to Queen Mary upon her nuptials to King George V in 1893 – and it conceals a humorous nod to the groom’s notorious attention to timekeeping.
The brooch contains over 100 diamonds shaped into a bow and flower pendant which are connected by a dual chain. Inside the diamond studded bloom is a watch. George V was famous for his wish that everybody would be on time, even setting forward his own clocks so to ensure no late arrivals or departures.
This was one of the first stunning pieces that Queen Mary acquired, leading her to collect an incredible jewellery collection in the years before her death in 1953. She left many of these gems to her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth.
With pieces sparingly being brought out by a new generation of royals, we can’t wait to see what comes out next!

King Charles and his sister Princess Anne made a rare joint engagement for the presentation of new standards to The Life Guards and the Blues and Royals at Windsor Castle.

Between the buttoned-up event, King Charles shared a smile with his sister. At the end of the ceremony, His Majesty gave a speech on the values of honour and tradition of The Household Cavalry, which is symbolised in the standards.
“At such a time of global uncertainty, it is of crucial importance to preserve the attributes of excellence and achievement for which you are famous, and which are symbolised by these Standards…These Union Standards remain a physical reminder of that very personal bond between the Sovereign and the Regiments of The Life Guards and The Blues and Royals…They have lasted the test of time… and remain a golden thread that connects the present to an illustrious past.”

Queen Camilla participated in The Big Egg Hunt. This charitable initiative was organised by the Elephant Family, a conservation charity co-founded by her Majesty’s late brother, Mark Shand.
The Big Egg Hunt involves placing 123 artistically designed, two-foot-tall eggs across London. Encourages Londoners to find the eggs to promote awareness and raise funds and awareness for wildlife conservation in Asia.
Queen Camilla visited the “Green Man Humpty Dumpty Egg” installed outside Buckingham Palace. This particular egg, commissioned by King Charles and Queen Camilla, was designed by artist Alice Shirley. The design reimagines the classic Humpty Dumpty character as the Green Man, a symbol of nature’s renewal, reflecting the royal couple’s commitment to environmental conservation.
During her visit, Queen Camilla expressed admiration for the artwork, describing it as “wonderful.” This appearance marked her first public engagement since King Charles’s brief hospitalisation on March 27 due to side effects from cancer treatment. The King has since resumed his public duties.

We never thought we’d put ‘Queen Camilla’ and ‘Married at First Sight‘ in the same sentence, but here we are!
On March 27, 2025, MAFS star Jamie Marinos revealed that Queen Camilla was supposed to have a cameo in this season’s final dinner party episode. The episode aired on March 26, 2025, but it was ultimately cut.
Let us backtrack a little. The final dinner party was filmed in 2024, the same day that as a part of her royal tour of Australia with King Charles, the Queen visited Green Square Library.
And Green Square Library is right next door to OneGlobal Resorts, where the MAFS participants lived during the experiment.
“It was on a dinner party day because we were getting ready and Dave wanted to have a shower, and I was like, ‘But the Queen is coming!’ Like, what are the chances?,” Jamie told Yahoo Lifestyle.
“We found out she was coming because we had like, cops and stuff, everyone blocking off the street, and I was like, ‘This is f**king nuts!’ Imagine having front row seats to the Queen, like our balcony was literally facing her.”
A MAFS production insider confirmed Jamie’s story and added: “All of the cast were filming on their iPhones, and producers quickly repositioned the camera crew to get footage. They know it’d be ratings gold to try and feature a royal onto the show somehow.”
It’s not yet clear why Camilla was cut from the episode; perhaps the footage wasn’t very good or perhaps the drama going on between Paul and Carina took precedent over the Queen…
March 9, 2025
It was reported that His Majesty King Charles III has purchased a property close to his wife Queen Camilla’s private home in Wiltshire for £3 million (approximately $6.1 million AUD) using private funds.
The property is located by the river Avon and shares a private laneway with Camilla’s residence, Ray Mill House. She often uses Ray Mill House as a countryside refuge. The new property, called the Old Mill, is also a heritage building that dates from the time of the Normans.
The former owner of the property, Phil Clayton, converted parts of the property to holiday apartments, which local residents opposed. There were concerns that any new owners would develop it further, which could be a security risk to the Queen.
March 7, 2025
King Charles’s official Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts posted a video of him sitting down at a desk with an ‘on air’ sign on it. As Charles sat, the on-air sign lit up. The video then ended with a title card that read, “Coming soon.”
Fans quickly took to the comments to try and figure out what is coming soon. “The King’s Podcast?,” one comment proffered.
“The King starting a podcast?,” another read.
It wouldn’t be too surprising if Charles launched a podcast; his wife, Queen Camilla, did so last year.
However, it turns out the King has launched his own personal playlist with Apple Music dubbed The King’s Music Room, to mark Commonwealth Day on March 10.
The radio broadcast includes his favourite tunes from across the Commonwealth. He has chosen Aussie pop icon Kylie Minogue, as well as celebrated Jamaican artists, Grace Jones and Bob Marley in his playlist.
In a statement alongside the announcement, King Charles said:
“Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories, comfort us in times of sadness, and to take us to distant places. But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy. So this is what I particularly wanted to share with you, songs which have brought me joy.”
The broadcast will air at 6am in the UK (4pm AEST) on Monday, March 10, with subsequent airings during Monday and Tuesday.
