Overview
- Camilla said she was attacked on a train as a teenager and that she fought back, describing lasting anger from the incident.
- She recalled stepping off the train to her mother noticing her disheveled appearance, offering rare personal detail without naming the assailant.
- Her remarks follow years of advocacy on violence against women, including recent engagement with the Hunt family after the murders of John Hunt’s wife and two daughters in 2024.
- Previous reporting from Valentine Low’s book said she was about 16 or 17, struck the attacker with her shoe, and identified him to police, details she did not confirm in the interview.
- A palace source said the disclosure would be a good outcome if it helps destigmatize the issue and encourages girls to seek help.
