The Duke of Cornwall's wife the Duchess of Cornwall has launched The Reading Room, which is an online community sharing their love for books, but she also has a physical reading room at her London home of Clarence House which she has shown off in many virtual appearances.
The Garden Room is the location of choice for Duchess Camilla's videos, suggesting that she enjoys using this space for reading. The Duchess chose to film the launch clip in there, and it looked incredibly cosy as she sat in front of an open log fireplace. There is also a pink baroque cushioned coffee table in the background.
