Queen Camilla: Revelation of Sexual Assault in Adolescence

A new book reveals that Queen Camilla was the victim of a sexual assault in her adolescence. The revelation occurred in a conversation with the then-Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, in 2008.

According to the book "Power and the Palace" by Valentine Low, Camilla shared her story with Johnson, explaining how a man harassed her on a train to Paddington when she was 16 or 17 years old. She reacted by hitting the perpetrator with her shoe.

This revelation explains Camilla's dedication to supporting victims of sexual and domestic violence. She has contacted Gisèle Pelicot, a rape victim, and has organized events to raise public awareness.

Buckingham Palace has not commented on the incident, but Camilla's actions confirm the importance she attaches to the issue.
