Overview

• The extract reports that as a 16–17-year-old on a train to Paddington, Camilla struck a man with her heel after he tried to touch her, then identified him to staff at the station where he was arrested.
• Buckingham Palace has declined to comment, and the anecdote has not been independently confirmed by Camilla or Johnson.
• Low attributes the story to Harri’s recollection, highlighting a multi-step sourcing chain rather than a direct, on-the-record account.
• Coverage sets the reported incident alongside Camilla’s long-standing advocacy for survivors of sexual and domestic violence, including her 2013 ‘washbags’ initiative and visits to SARCs.
• Harri says the conversation occurred as Johnson pursued new rape crisis centres in London, and the book is due for publication on September 11.
