She was awarded several esteemed academic awards for her achievements in Bologna and has since been invited to speak at prestigious legal conferences and events.
Also a British Red Cross volunteer, she is the founding director of a charitable publishing house which has attracted attention worldwide for its pioneering work in human rights literature.
As a Fulbright scholar, Camilla will study a LL.M Master's degree in Law, specialising in International Human Rights Law.
She said: "Receiving a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship will allow me to further my research into areas of law which are often contentious or culturally-divergent and as such receive little academic and political attention.
"I am very excited about this opportunity to participate in one of the most prestigious and selective scholarship programmes operating world-wide."

“Congratulations to Camilla and best wishes for the future in what is a challenging but very necessary career.
Quick question for the Louth Target, though. In the context of "LL.M Master's degree in Law", what does the LL.M stand for?”
