Queen Camilla was assaulted as a teenager and fought off her attacker with a shoe, a new royal book has claimed.
The royal is said to have been on a train to Paddington as a 16 or 17-year-old schoolgirl when a man attempted to touch her.
The revelation emerged in an upcoming book by former royal correspondent Valentine Low, titled Power and the Palace: The Inside Story of the Monarchy and 10 Downing Street, serialised in The Times.
Camilla is alleged to have told Boris Johnson her ordeal in 2008, when he was invited to meet her at Clarence House as the newly elected mayor of London.
She is said to have told Mr Johnson that 'some guy was moving his hand further and further'.
