UPDATE: Queen Camilla has opened up about a shocking personal experience, revealing her anger after being attacked on a train as a teenager. The revelation comes as she honors the memory of the Hunt family, who tragically lost their lives in a violent incident last year.
In a heartfelt discussion broadcast on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Camilla praised John Hunt and his daughter Amy, who established The Hunt Family Fund in memory of Louise, Hannah, and Carol Hunt. This initiative aims to support charities that empower young women. The gala to launch the fund took place earlier this month, with both Camilla and former Prime Minister Baroness Theresa May in attendance.
Camilla expressed deep admiration for the Hunts, stating, “I’d just like to say, wherever your family is now, they’d be so proud of you both.” Her emotional words resonated as she recounted her own traumatic encounter on public transport, recalling, “Somebody I didn’t know… attacked me, and I did fight back.”
This incident, which occurred during her youth, has remained a poignant memory for the Queen. She described the moment her mother noticed the physical signs of the attack, including a missing button from her coat.
As she shared her story, Amy Hunt responded, “Thank you for sharing that story first, your majesty. That takes a lot to share these things because every woman has a story.”
This powerful exchange highlights the ongoing conversation about violence against women and the importance of support networks. The Hunt family’s tragic loss has sparked a movement to inspire change and raise awareness, making this story not just a personal reflection but a rallying call for many.
With the launch of The Hunt Family Fund, the family aims to ensure that their loved ones’ legacy continues to inspire and empower future generations.
As this story develops, it underscores the crucial need for community support and resilience in the face of tragedy. The Queen’s candid sharing of her own experience serves as a reminder of the struggles many face and the strength that can arise from them.
