The Duchess of Cornwall has released a beautiful new portrait to mark the launch of her Reading Room project, which will officially begin on Friday.

Looking elegant in her pinafore dress and floaty white blouse, Camilla rocks her usual glossy blow-dry and flawless makeup in the candid shot, which is thought to have been taken at Clarence House.

The Duchess has often spoken of the importance of reading, and sent a heartfelt message in April as she shared her reading list with royal fans.

"Ernest Hemingway, famously, once said 'There is no friend as loyal as a book'. In these challenging times, when we are isolated from the ones we love, many of us are finding comfort in reading, to fire up our imaginations, to take us on journeys and to make us laugh," she said.

Camilla holds seven patronages related to literature

Among Camilla's previous reading recommendations are classics such as Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, as well as Travels On My Elephant, a memoir penned by her late brother, Mark Shand.

In a series of Instagram stories on Clarence House's social media account at the time, Camilla gave her reasons behind each book she'd selected, saying that her brother's travel tome "always brings a tear to my eye."
