Queen Consort Camilla looked effortlessly glamorous as she attended a dinner to mark the very first Braemar Literary Festival.
The 75-year-old wife of King Charles III radiated elegance in a long-sleeved blue dress as she stepped out of the Fife Arms hotel Friday night.
The three-day festival – which runs through Sunday – is held in the Highland village in conjunction with The Reading Room, the book club founded by Camilla.
First launched in January 2021, the online literary hub was inspired by the success of the then Duchess of Cornwall’s reading lists shared during the 2020 pandemic. It offers book recommendations and exclusive insight from the authors themselves.

The Braemar Literary Festival examines the creative use of word and text in the broadest sense of the word.
It celebrates the work of bestselling authors alongside visual artists, spoken word artists, singer-songwriters, screenwriters, critics and publishers, reflecting the many ways the “literary” creatively enhances our lives.
The dinner was cooked by Chef Angela Hartnett, OBE and attended by festival participants, including biographer Justine Picardie and actress Anna Friel.

The festival also offers a wide range of free workshops, literary walks and a pop-up ‘Poem & A Pint’ program in the village.
“This inaugural festival promises to be an exciting event bringing together the Braemar village community, guests of The Fife Arms, The Reading Room and literature lovers everywhere,” a statement from the event organizers said.
The Queen Consort’s outing comes after she delighted followers on her Reading Room Instagram account by revealing the four novels she is recommending this fall.
Now in its eighth season, the club’s latest books are designed to “warm your hearts and cool your bones” — with Bram Stoker’s Dracula clearly a nod to Halloween on the horizon.
Joanna Quinn’s Whalebone Theater was also included, as were Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief and Elizabeth Gilbert’s City of Girls.
