Queen Camilla and the wider British Royal Family face criticism after the Royal Family’s official social media account shares a photo showing Camilla meeting author J.K. Rowling at Holyroodhouse (Holyroodhouse) in Edinburgh. Multiple outlets report that the post appears at the end of Pride Month and that commentators and transgender rights activists express disapproval, citing Rowling’s public statements that critics describe as anti-trans. Protesters and online commenters reportedly respond by posting trans pride flags and calling the Royal Family’s timing and judgment into question. Euronews characterizes the reaction as criticism over “terrible judgement,” while other outlets describe the backlash as focused on the optics of pairing the Queen with Rowling during Pride-related commemorations. The reports also state that Camilla’s meeting with Rowling is connected to Royal Week in Scotland and that the photo is posted on the royal account, prompting debate about whether the Royal Family should publicly feature Rowling at that time. No sources in this set report an official response from Buckingham Palace to the criticism.
