Camilla’s subtle dig at Roald Dahl edit as she tells authors 'remain true to your calling


Queen Camilla took 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.”

It was reported that the Royal then looked up with a smile and said: “Enough said.”

Her comment was reportedly welcomed by the crowd with cheers of “here here”.
