Queen Camilla posed for a picture with staff at The Half Moon Pub in Plumpton, East Sussex, earlier this week It comes after Camilla held an audience with Harry Potter creator JK Rowling at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh last week.The pair were pictured smiling and standing side-by-side as they discussed the importance of young people's access to books.A post on the monarchy's official social media read: 'With a shared passion for books and a deep commitment to children reading for pleasure, The Queen and author J.K. Rowling have met at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.'Her Majesty and Ms Rowling discussed the importance of ensuring that young people have access to books and the vital part reading plays in opening doors for future generations.'The Royals enjoyed time in Scotland for a week of engagements north of the Border.King Charles, 77, was greeted to a rendition of Proclaimers I'm Gonna Be (500 miles) by the Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and Pipes and Drums of 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland on his arrival at the capital.The bands also treated him to the Tartan Army anthem 'Yes Sir, I Can Boogie', originally by the Spanish duo Baccara.He was joined at the palace garden by his brother, Prince Edward, and sister, Princess Anne plus around 200 guests, Ms Rowling among them, who were invited as a thank you for their work in the local community.Teenager Isla Grist, who suffers from the rare butterfly skin condition, the life-limiting Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), met the King and Queen at the event.She was joined by her mother, Rachael Grist, and former Scotland footballer Graeme Souness, the EB charity DEBRA president, and his wife, Karen.After meeting the Royal couple the 17-year-old, from Black Isle, north of Inverness, said: 'He asked me about the charity that me and Graeme are involved in and was very up with his knowledge and I spoke about how much we do for the charity and having EB.'It was very exciting and I was a little bit nervous but mostly exciting. It was a great honour.'Mr Souness added: 'Not many people get to meet the King and Queen and I'm from Edinburgh, I'm in my home city, so to be thrilled would be an understatement.'We are a small charity, EB affects five thousand people in the UK and so have to raise money and make people aware.'Awareness is everything. When you dig deep into this condition it is harrowing when you witness it.'I'm hoping the pictures of Isla with the King and Queen appear everywhere that will help us enormously as it is all about awareness.'
