Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla read “A Christmas Story” by Charles Dickens with some friends for twelve days.

Prince Charles (73) and Duchess Camilla (74) give royal fans a special treat this Christmas: for twelve days they and friends read the book “A Christmas Story” by Charles Dickens (1812-1870). They announced that in a video on Instagram on. The actors Miriam Margolyes (80), Paterson Joseph (57), Sir Derek Jacobi (83), Simon Callow (72) and Stephen Mangan (53) will support the Royals in their project.

“We wish you a Merry Christmas”

With “A Christmas Story” “Christmas as we know it today began in many ways,” says Camilla in the video. The book “covers topics such as love, kindness, compassion, tolerance and speaks to the heart”. She hopes the fans will “accompany her on this literary journey”. “May it be pleasantly haunted in your houses and we wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas,” says the Duchess. “God bless each of us,” adds Charles – this is also one of the most famous sentences at the end of the famous story.

The excerpts read from the book will be on the Instagram account “DuchessofCornwallsReadingRoom” released. “A Christmas Story” from 1843 is about the curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge, who receives a visit from several ghosts in one night. With their help, he will change his life and become a good person. The story has already been filmed several times.
