Royal family shares video of Queen’s visit to Dickens Museum hours after
Duke of Sussex steps down from Sentebale
Queen Camilla marked a significant cultural occasion with a visit to the
Charles Dickens Museum in London, celebrating 100 years since the historic
house first opened to the public in 1925.
The royal family shared a video of the event on social media, accompanied by
the message: “Celebrating 100 years since the opening of @DickensMuseum!”
The Palace noted that the museum holds the world’s most extensive collection
of Charles Dickens material, boasting over 100,000 items. During her visit,
Queen Camilla enjoyed dramatic readings of the author’s letters by museum
patrons Miriam Margolyes and Simon Callow.
The celebration coincided with Prince Harry’s announcement that he is stepping
down as patron of Sentebale, the charity he co-founded with Prince Seeiso to
support children affected by HIV and AIDS. His departure marks a significant
turning point for the organisation, which now faces a leadership shift amid
ongoing internal challenges.
