This comes after Queen Camilla attended a Holocaust Memorial Day reception hosted by the Anne Frank Trust to mark the 80th death anniversary of the teenager.

During her speech, Camilla highlighted the disturbing rises in Islamophobia and antisemitism while emphasising the of fighting prejudice.

“This year we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the death of Anne Frank in Bergen Belsen, at the age of 15. Had she lived, she would be 95,” Camilla began her speech.

“We can only guess at what she would have made of her legacy,” she continued. “Yet her story demonstrates that even the quietest, loneliest voice in the wilderness can change the world. That is the true power of words.”
