Queen Camilla Publicly Recalls Fighting Off Teen Train Attacker on BBC’s Today

She used the broadcast to urge early education for boys to instill respect for women.

Overview

  • Recorded at Clarence House and aired December 31, the conversation featured John and Amy Hunt, was guest-edited by Theresa May, and was chaired by Emma Barnett.
  • Camilla said she spoke after being moved by the Hunts’ courage following the 2024 murders of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt; Kyle Clifford received a whole-life sentence in March.
  • Earlier reporting in Valentine Low’s book said she struck the assailant with her shoe and reported him at Paddington, where he was arrested.
  • The discussion highlighted the scale of online misogyny and the radicalisation of young men, with Camilla calling prevention through schools a priority.
  • The Hunts have launched the Hunt Family Fund to support projects for women, with fundraising under way and a gala scheduled for January 1.
