The royal, 78, opened up about her own past assault during a special edition of BBC Radio 4’s Today program, which aired on Wednesday, December 31.
Camilla explained that she was assaulted by “somebody I didn’t know,” adding, “I was reading my book, and this boy—man—attacked me, and I did fight back.”
She continued: “I remember getting off the train and my mother looking at me and saying, ‘Why is your hair standing on end, and why is a button missing from your coat?’”
The queen—who has been a longtime advocate for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and abuse—shared her story with BBC racing commentator John Hunt, whose wife Carol and daughters Hannah and Louise were killed by Louise’s ex-boyfriend Kyle Clifford in a July 2024 crossbow and knife attack in England. (Clifford was sentenced to life in prison in March.)
“When the subject about domestic abuse came up, and suddenly you hear a story like John and Amy’s, it’s something that I feel very strongly about,” she said.
“She was on a train going to Paddington—she was about 16, 17—and some guy was moving his hand further and further …’ At that point Johnson had asked what happened next. She replied: ‘I did what my mother taught me to. I took off my shoe and whacked him in the nuts with the heel,’” Low wrote. “Harri said: ‘She was self-possessed enough when they arrived at Paddington to jump off the train, find a guy in uniform and say, ‘That man just attacked me,’ and he was arrested.’”
“Nobody asked why the interest, why the commitment,” Harri said, per Low. “But that’s what it went back to.”
