Raye left behind previous record holders Blur, Harry Styles and Adele, who had won four awards in one year.
Camilla, 76, British Queen, is taking a short break from her royal duties. Camilla recently represented her husband, King Charles III, who was suffering from cancer, in representative tasks.

Camilla is scheduled to appear in public again on March 11th, representing the king at the Commonwealth Day service in Westminster Abbey in London. Before that, however, she needs “some peace and relaxation,” said nobility expert Ingrid Seward to the newspaper The Sun.
