Queen Camilla Stepping Into New Territory By Starring in Her Favorite Author’s Next Thriller Novel
Talk about a page-turner! Queen Camilla is stepping into new territory — as a character in a gripping crime thriller. The 78-year-old appears in the latest book by one of her favorite authors, Peter James. Known for his popular Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series, he’s given Camilla a cameo in The Hawk Is Dead.
In the novel, Camilla’s character becomes the target of a suspicious assassination attempt while aboard a royal train. After the train derails in a tunnel, an explosion kills her private secretary, Sir Peregrine Greaves. The story follows Camilla as she questions whether she was the intended target.
“It’s very unusual for her to do something like this,” says a source. “But hey, didn’t Queen Elizabeth II do that hilarious Olympics bit with Daniel Craig years ago?”
