Queen Camilla told a BBC documentary that King Charles has a habit of laughing loudly while reading before dinner, which she described as 'off-putting' to her own concentration.

Camilla, who runs a literacy charity called The Queen's Reading Room, used the appearance to reiterate her longstanding advocacy for reading, noting she left school young and credits books with most of her education.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A queen complaining that her husband laughs too loud at his book is the sort of problem most people would trade for in a heartbeat. It is a pleasant little anecdote dressed up as news because a royal mouth said it on camera. Harmless enough, though it says something about the appetite for palace gossip that this counts as a story at all.
