Camilla, in a video recorded for her online book club The Duchess of Cornwall’s Reading Room, said Major Bruce Shand “devoured books” and was “the best read man I’ve come across, anywhere”.
The duchess said being read to in her early childhood sparked her lifelong love of reading.
The footage, released on Instagram, included a black and white image of Camilla’s father as a young man.
She said: “I think it certainly came from my father, he was probably the best read man I’ve come across, anywhere. I mean, he devoured books.
