Queen Camilla pays tribute to 'irrepressible' author Jeffrey Archer

Queen Camilla has paid tribute to the bestselling author and former politician Jeffrey Archer following his death at the age of 86. In a statement, the Queen praised his colourful life, describing him as an irrepressible life force and noting that his final work was set to be published imminently.

Archer was a prominent figure who sold over 300 million books throughout his career, including notable titles like Kane and Abel and the Clifton Chronicles. He was also a former Conservative MP whose life was marked by both literary success and significant controversy, including a prison sentence for perjury in 2001.
