Queen Camilla stepped into the world of children’s theatre on Wednesday as she visited the Unicorn Theatre to celebrate the launch of its new Creative Hub. 

As a dedicated patron, the 77-year-old royal engaged with staff, young performers, and industry professionals, learning about the theatre’s mission to inspire the next generation through the arts.

During the visit, the Queen fondly recalled secret theatre outings with her grandchildren while chatting with actor Rory Kinnear and author Malorie Blackman.
