The coronavirus outbreak affects everyone all over the world. A lot of countries are in lockdown, and people have to stay at home. So if you feel bored and feeling stuck, there are the royal family's favorite books that you can try to read.
Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle loves to read powerful self-help books. According to Hello! Magazine, she draws inspiration from Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements and Benjamin Hoff's The Tao of Pooh, which her mother, Doria Ragland, gave to her when she was young.
She also likes Brendon Burchard's The Motivation Manifesto and Spencer Johnson's Who Moved My Cheese? In her now-defunct blog, The Tig, she suggested Paul Kalanithi's When Breath Becomes Air and the French classic, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. She also recommended books by Maya Angelou and Leo Buscaglia.
Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton evidently likes classic reads, as seen in her photo while working at her Norfolk home, Anmer Hall. The Duchess of Cambridge gave a glimpse to her Penguin book collection, seating neatly on her desk. The titles include the classics A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings, Sense and Sensibility, The Picture of Dorian Grey, The Hound of the Baskervilles and The Odyssey.
Camilla, Duchess Of Cornwall
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, is the patron of the National Literacy Trust. Hence, she encourages young people to read. Prince Charles' wife is an avid reader herself, and she credits her "fervent bibliophile" father for that.
She loves David Walliams's Gangsta Granny, The Big Friendly Giant, The Hungry Caterpillar and The Tiger Who Came to Tea. She also likes J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and recommends Booker Prize winners' books.
Prince William
Women in the royal family are not the only ones who love to read; the men, too. Unlike his wife, Prince William likes to read action-adventure novels, like Mark A. Cooper's Fledgling.
BookBub noted that Fledgling is one of the Duke of Cambridge's favorite books due to its typical British boy's book." It has a theme of action, adventure, romance, emotion, and humor that the future king likes.
Prince Philip
Prince Philip was seen carrying a book by Christopher Kelly titled The End of Empire while boarding a train for the royal family's traditional Christmas celebrations in Sandringham. The novel tells the story of the "original exploration of the clash between empire and barbarity in the ancient world, full of contemporary resonance."
