BREAKING: Queen Camilla has revealed a deeply personal story about an attack she faced as a teenager during an emotional discussion that aired earlier today on BBC Radio 4. The Queen expressed her admiration for John Hunt and his daughter Amy, whose family suffered a tragic loss when they were murdered at their home in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on July 9, 2022.
This shocking incident involved the deaths of Louise Hunt, 25, her sister Hannah Hunt, 28, and their mother Carol Hunt, 61, at the hands of Kyle Clifford, 27, Louise’s ex-partner. In response to their harrowing tragedy, John and Amy Hunt launched The Hunt Family Fund to support charities that uplift and inspire young women.
Speaking during a recorded conversation at Clarence House, which included former Prime Minister Baroness Theresa May and was chaired by BBC broadcaster Emma Barnett, Camilla praised the Hunts for their resilience. She stated, “Wherever your family is now, they’d be so proud of you both. They must be smiling down on you.”
In a shocking revelation, Queen Camilla recounted her own experience of violence, saying, “I was reading my book when a man attacked me. I did fight back.” This led to a poignant moment where she reflected on the impact such experiences have on women. After the Queen shared her story, Amy expressed gratitude, acknowledging the courage it takes to discuss such personal matters: “Thank you for sharing that story, your Majesty, because every woman has a story.”
The discussion, conducted last month, sheds light on important issues surrounding women’s safety and empowerment. The emotional resonance of the Queen’s experiences and the Hunts’ tragedy highlights the urgent need for awareness and action against violence.
