Her Majesty Queen Camilla spoke with Jenna Bush Hager this week as she traveled to the United States, discussing the royal’s visit and passion for reading. The exclusive conversation will air in full on TODAY April 30. Jenna and the queen conversed following her majesty’s appearance at the New York Public Library in New York City on April 29. She and King Charles II are currently on their first official state visit as Britain’s reigning monarch and queen consort. “You’ve been to a lot of places, quite a few,” Jenna tells the queen in a preview shared on NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas. “We have, but it’s been wonderful,” the queen replies, adding, “Everybody’s been very kind and welcoming.” Camilla was in attendance to honor the United States and the United Kingdom’s appreciation of literature, according to a royal press release. She particularly highlighted English author A.A. Milne, who originated stories about Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin. Camilla’s recognition of the writer’s work was especially meaningful as this year marks the beloved bear’s 100th birthday. The first Winnie-the-Pooh tale was published on October 14, 1926. While appearing at the New York Public Library, Camilla took a moment to present a “Roo” doll to add to the library’s Winnie-the-Pooh collection, as well. Like Jenna, her majesty’s love for reading and books extends past personal interest. She founded the Queens’ Reading Room, a charity that works to celebrate literature in the states and across the pond. The royal’s trip to the library were two of the many items on her itinerary during her and Charles’ current visit to the US. The pair arrived in Washington, D.C. on April 27 before making their way to New York. They will also travel to Virginia to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of independence. There, they will interact with residents and local community groups and enjoy performances from Appalachian cultural groups. The royals will stop by a “block party” in honor of the 250th anniversary, too. “The visit will be an opportunity to recognise the shared history of our two nations; the breadth of the economic, security and cultural relationship that has developed since then; and the deep people-to-people connections which unite communities,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement prior to their arrival.  This story first appeared on TODAY.com.
