the fourth day of her visit to the United States, Queen Camilla stepped into one of New York’s most iconic cultural institutions, the New York Public Library, for an event centered on the enduring power of literature. Joining her was Sarah Jessica Parker, whose long-standing connection to publishing and storytelling made her a natural counterpart for the occasion.
