This is a fantastic reading of roald_dahl's James and the Giant Peach from the Duchess of Cornwall!
May 27, 2020 - 14:02 BST Danielle Stacey The Duchess of Cornwall showcased her impressive acting skills for the first time ever as she was given a starring role in a special reading of Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach. Camilla, 72, joined Oscar-winner Lupita Nyongo'o, actor and comedian Josh Gad and Academy Award-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi as they read the children's story in character.
Camilla, who has long been an advocate of storytelling, tells Taika:"I'm thrilled to do it, not that I'm much of an actor, but I shall do my best," before delivering a brilliant reading. The royal read her part from her Scottish residence, Birkhall, where she and the Prince of Wales have been residing since the UK lockdown was imposed in March.
The collaboration between the Roald Dahl Story Company and Taika is part of a campaign to support charities impacted by COVID-19, including Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity, which provides specialist nurses to seriously ill children in the UK, as well as Partners In Health, a global health non-profit which supports public health systems in some of the most vulnerable communities around the world.
Camilla said:"I hope this campaign will raise vital funds to support those most in need at this very challenging time – as well as helping families and children currently in lockdown to find a moment of comfort through the joy of reading.
"The participation of Her Royal Highness is a very special moment in this campaign and we feel so privileged to have her involvement – we know parents and children in lockdown all over the world are going to love this episode and we look forward to revealing further surprises in due course."Make sure you never miss a ROYAL story!
