Queen Camilla Reveals Assault on Train in New Book

Queen Camilla has disclosed a troubling incident from her teenage years in which she was sexually assaulted on a train. This revelation is part of a new book by author Valentine Low, titled Power and the Palace: The Inside Story of the Monarchy and 10 Downing Street, which is being serialized in The Times. According to the book, the future Queen was approximately 16 or 17 years old when an unknown man attempted to touch her while traveling to Paddington station.
During the incident, Queen Camilla reportedly defended herself by using her high heel shoe to fend off the attacker. This account sheds light on a personal experience that she had kept private for many years.
In 2008, Queen Camilla confided in former Mayor of London Boris Johnson about her experience during a meeting at Clarence House. She described the situation, stating that “some guy was moving his hand further and further.” This revelation adds a significant layer to her public persona, illustrating the challenges she faced even before assuming her royal duties.
Despite her initial reluctance to share this experience, the Queen has acknowledged the importance of discussing such matters publicly. The disclosure serves as a reminder of the ongoing issues surrounding personal safety and harassment.
The book’s release highlights significant moments in the life of the monarchy and its relationship with political figures, as well as the broader societal implications of such incidents. As this story unfolds, many will be watching for further insights into the royal family’s past and how these experiences shape their present narratives.
The revelations from Valentine Low are expected to generate considerable discussion and reflection on the treatment of women and the importance of speaking out against harassment.
