Queen Camilla visits the Church of St Mary and Lamb House in Rye, East Sussex. Historic Lamb House, once home to novelists Henry James, Rumer Godden and E.F. Benson, also hosts a literature collection the Queen viewed as part of a tour of the property. Her Majesty then attended a garden party where she met with Oscar winner Hayley Mills, and actor Timothy West among other guests. Report by Covellm.

00:00 [CHILDREN CHATTERING]
00:03 Well, you too, Your Majesty.
00:27 A very warm welcome.
00:28 A slightly damp welcome to this church, as you may.
00:29 It's been yesterday.
00:31 Yes, lovely, isn't it?
00:32 Tomorrow, it would have been lovely.
00:33 Indeed.
00:33 But here we are.
00:34 We have our brothers, and we have our co-brothers.

01:14 [CHATTERING]
01:17 This, I think, is a lovely room.
01:24 But Benson famously disliked it intensely
01:28 and used it as a corridor to the garden.
01:30 Oh, did he?
01:30 Yes.
01:31 What's this problem?
01:31 I don't know.
01:32 This really is the creative space of the house.
01:35 So when Henry James lived here, he wrote all his books here
01:39 and would pace up and down.
01:40 And his secretary were to type, as he dictated.
01:44 Benson also wrote his books here.
01:48 Just to give you an idea of sort of how he lived here.
01:50 So Henry James wrote "Memes of Barbaria" when he lived here.
01:53 [CHATTERING]
01:56 [CHATTERING]
02:00 Hello.
02:20 Look who's here.
02:21 I'm so glad.
02:22 I'm sorry, but what are the other people doing here?
02:24 [CHATTERING]
02:27 I've been watching your canal program.
02:32 It's so good.
02:34 Thank you.
02:36 Yeah, it kept us laughing.
02:37 My husband said when I passed him,
02:39 his very best wishes to you.
02:41 I'd say the same.
02:43 Very supportive.
02:45 And he's very cross he's not here today.
02:47 Yes.
02:48 What a nice little group you've got here.
02:50 Oh, lovely guy.
02:53 And just here, please, as well.
02:54 Thank you very much.
02:55 Thank you very much.
02:56 Thank you.
02:56 [CHATTERING]
03:00 Thank you.
03:01 Top of arms.
03:02 That's it.
03:02 We'll wait to see whether that comes back to us.
03:04 [CHATTERING]
03:05 Long live the Queen!
03:07 Oh, yeah.
