Queen Camilla made a subtle dig at Roald Dahl rewrites while speaking at a reception at Clarence House. A large number of changes have been made by the publisher, Puffin, to the original text of the books, removing many of Dahl’s classic, timeless, and colourful descriptions and making his characters less grotesque.
Speaking at the Clarence House, Camilla said: “Please remain true to your calling, unimpeded by those who may wish to curb the freedom of your expression or impose limits on your imagination, unimpeded by those who may wish to curb the freedom of your expression or impose limits on your imagination.”
It was reported that the Royal then looked up with a smile and said: “Enough said.”
Her comment was said to have been welcomed by the crowd with cheers of “here here”.
Celebrating the second year of the Reading Room, she motivated the literary experts to celebrate their achievements.
She continued: “But let there be no squeaking like mice about your achievements, but only roaring like a pride of lions.”
