Queen says she was ‘furious’ after she was attacked on train as teenager

On Wednesday, Queen Camilla spoke publicly for the first time about being the victim of an indecent assault in a discussion recorded last month in the Garden Room at Clarence House, aired on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
After hearing survivors' stories, Camilla said she felt compelled to speak because domestic violence had long been kept quiet, especially after John Hunt and Amy Hunt's story.
On a train to Paddington, the then-teenager Queen Camilla fought off the unnamed attacker by hitting him with her shoe, then reported the attack and the man was arrested at Paddington Station, London.
Alongside the Hunts, the broadcast coincided with a gala launching The Hunt Family Fund earlier this month, and Queen Camilla praised John Hunt and Amy Hunt, saying their loved ones would be proud.
Camilla urged early intervention to teach potential perpetrators respect for women in schools and highlighted online radicalisation concerns involving tech and social media companies, linking this to her recent documentary and campaigning work.
