Fantastic conversation between Edna O'Brien and Her Majesty, The Queen - both very comfortable in each other's company. So interesting to hear her speak - great stuff.
What a lovely conversation between 2 interesting and brave women. I could have listened to this interview much longer. This makes me proud to be a female❤. Thank you…
Finally! An interview where the guest took the lead and the interviewer gave her guest complete ownership of the direction of the interview. Well done to both women. 👍
I don’t know Edna O’Brien and I don’t know why a book she wrote was shameful to her family. I now need to research it. I looked at this video to get a feel of Queen Camilla. I’m so impressed by both of them.
Girl was only published 5 years ago. She must have been really something to go to Nigeria ALONE to research her book at the age she was then. Respect. I can’t wait to read it.
It is incredible book. Harrowing is the right word but tremendous. I adore her work. "The Little Red Chairs " is excellent also. She was my favourite living writer until her very recent death . Queen Camilla seems taken with her which is lovely I hadn't come across this chat before.
It's been said that this was a very real conversation between two very likeminded people. Between these two there is no No rank... Just a bringing together...of two sensitive and Intelligent ladies. The admiration for Edna is so clear from HRH. The recent death of Ms O'Brein leaves a hole in the world of Literature. BUT we have this...Thank You.
What a wonderful interview, one of the best I have seen or listened to. Two very intelligent women. Queen Camilla could teach some ‘ professionals’ how to do it. She listened, didn’t interrupt and was so gracious. Two lovely ladies 👏👏
Its soothing to hear from these wonderful women ❤❤❤i think it's actually a good cause to talk about stories that relaye to many .... Lots of love from Zambia 🇿🇲
Thanks for this! Had met Edna, attended readings, so well acquainted. But Camilla is a discovery - normal, not posh at all, informed, she reads (!) - very nice conversation!
😊 Promoting literacy is one of her main areas of work, you should check out The Queen's Reading Room - thequeensreadingroom.co.uk or @thequeensreadingroom on Instagram!
This was a brilliant interview to great women, Queen Camellia, such a great listner and such an intelligent women in conversation wit another great author .
I have always been a huge fan of Queen Camilla…Maybe, Interviewers should learn from Queen Camilla. Not once did she interrupt Edna O’Brien…She just quietly and attentively listened to her. A Great interview.
A true trail blazer and true influencer of the 20th and early 21st century for women to not be afraid and speak out for themselves. R.I.P. Edna O`Brien. Slainte.
What a delightful conversation - balanced and gentle but filled with meaning. I see that the Queen has a few other videos in 'no context' so that's where I am heading next. Delightful.
Camilla is an excellent ‘ Interviewer ‘ . Genuinely interested , and an intelligent and compassionate listener and questioner. Best wishes from Ireland.
I once spent an evening with Edna O'Brien in 1978, she had long been my hero, I particularly adored her short stories, and I was thrilled to spend time with her. Very beautiful woman.
R.I.P. Edna. Of all the writing I have enjoyed, yours is my favourite. Just the other day I was wondering were you still around and then I heard of your leaving us. I will keep your memory alive. My friends know just how much I admire you. I am keeping on writing too! Much love.
I thoroughly enjoyed this lovely conversation between two very intelligent people. I just love and admire queen Camilla. Thank you for this wonderful video.🎈🇺🇸🎈
Respectfully, Queen Camilla comes across as empathic, considerate and a perceptive person. Thank you so very much for sharing your insights and interests.
What a breath of spring, civilised, intelligent conversation. I love O'Brien and Queen Camilla is good at this, coming in at just the right moment and allowing the interviewee to take centre stage.
That's quite a new quality brought in. A queen putting the spot on interesting and relevant topics through an interview on a high level. I have to say, I like what I sea ❤
Fabulous - a truly meaningful interview. I came away feeling that the girls about who the book is based on were given the respect and voice they deserve
"If the messenger in you tells you to do it and every writer is always waiting for that messenger" - brilliantly said. Thank you Edna. As a writer myself I understand what you are saying... ♥
Rest in peace Edna,I was present at an evening where she was interviewed ,such an elegant articulate lady,interview with Queen Camilla was relaxing and calm,very good rapport between them.
The Queen looks absolutely captivated and shows so much respect and admiration. Every time I watch Her Majesty I feel it is so sad that she hasn’t been in our public life for longer.
In my top 50 books I’ve read during my life, one coming in near the top is The Country Girls. I’ve read it several times since and still love it. I read Girl a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. She was one of my favourite all time authors.
I know exactly what Edna was talking about when she knew she had to write her book. In 2005, I was working with Reiki and channeling. After a year of writing, I realized that I had created a book. I knew, with my entire being, that I had to self-publish a book that would be controversial. Despite my family and some friends shunning me and telling others that I was crazy, I believe my book, "Conversations with Nature," is one of the greatest achievements of my life. Sending loving thoughts to everyone.
I think Queen Camilla is frankly, the most wonderful person as this compelling interview proves. Long Live our Queen who is obviously a great and loving support to our King.
l would love to have a one 2 one with QUEEN CAMILLA , l would ask her who is her favourite football team as she ever had beans on toast what's her favourite pastime as she ever just got up from her chair and put on a coat and just gone somewhere for instance Liverpool Cirencester Cotswolds just to be on our own just being herself I truly find our Queen fascinating because let's face it the things she has to do for our country England
I’m an American. I have no investment to the monarchy; however, this is a masterfully conducted interview between interviewer and interviewee. Interviewers, far and wide, British and American, take note: no undue or incessant interrupting by the interviewer; no constant steering of the interviewer of the interviewee to satisfy an agenda; no senseless dialogue to fill space. What a (sadly) rare spectacle!
Absolutely beautiful conversation. The thing has to be done, the writer, composer, musician, compels you to do it. To give an ending HOPE without being false but find an enduring strength! When you leave someone ir something, that you feel the full power of it. So so interesting. Perfect respectful host is Queen Camilla ❤
