“I kicked him with my heel…”: Camilla breaks silence on a significant episode from her adolescence

In 2008, during an exchange at Clarence House with Boris Johnson , the future Queen Camilla revealed a long-seen episode from her adolescence. At the age of 16 or 17, while she was alone on a train to Paddington, a man began to attack her. Remembering her mother's advice, she took off her shoe and kicked the predator in the testicles with her heel, thus escaping the attack.

An act of cold blood and vital instinct

Arriving at her destination, Camilla rushes to alert the police and station staff. The man is immediately arrested, marking the end of an episode as traumatic as it is exemplary for generations of women. Her cold-blooded gesture illustrates the strength transmitted by maternal education and the importance of the survival instinct.

A story that began a social commitment

According to her friends, Camilla discusses this episode with her friends not out of shame but because she believes the experiences of others should be highlighted. This ordeal helped shape her involvement with organizations dedicated to combating sexual violence, including SafeLives. Her testimony during a meeting at Clarence House with Boris Johnson, far from being an isolated one, serves as a reminder of the universality of danger and the need for every woman to have tools and support.

Camilla, symbol of resilience and solidarity

Now Queen Consort, Camilla continues her commitment to victims of domestic and sexual violence. She advocates for "better care and the creation of shelters in Great Britain," providing support both through concrete actions and words of comfort to other victims.

This poignant story reveals an intimate side of Camilla's personality and highlights the strength of women in the face of adversity, while also inspiring reflection on prevention and the transmission of essential actions.
