‘I was reading my book and this boy, man, attacked me, and I did fight back,’ queen tells BBC’s Today programme
Queen Camilla has spoken for the first time about how she was “so angry” when she was physically assaulted on a train as a teenager.
Camilla described the incident in an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, during which she also praised the courage of the racing commentator John Hunt and his daughter Amy, whose family were murdered at their home.
She said she had “sort of forgotten” about the experience, but the memory had lurked for a long time. “Somebody I didn’t know … I was reading my book, and you know, this boy, man, attacked me, and I did fight back,” she told the programme.
“And I remember getting off the train and my mother looking at me and saying: ‘Why is your hair standing on end?’ and ‘Why is the button missing from your coat?’ But I remember anger, and I was so furious about it, and it’s sort of lurked for many years.
