Britain\u2019s Queen Camilla has described for the first time fighting off an attack by a man on a train when she was a teenager<\/a>, speaking in an interview with the BBC in which she recounted how furious the assault had left her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a teenager, I was attacked on a train \u2026 I remember at the time being so angry,\u201d she said during a discussion broadcast on Wednesday about violence against women.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was reading my book and you know this boy \u2014 man \u2014 attacked me, and I did fight back.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she did not know the man who attacked her.<\/p>\n

Camilla, 78, has for many years championed charities and causes that seek to end sexual and domestic violence and to support victims.<\/p>\n

The assault was first reported in September when a book about the royal family was serialized in the Times newspaper, but had not previously been confirmed by Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember getting off the train and my mother looking at me and saying \u2018Why is your hair standing on end and why is the button missing from your coat?\u2019\u201d she told the BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so furious about it and it\u2019s sort of lurked for many years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book said the incident happened on a train to Paddington Station in London when Camilla was about 16 or 17 years old, and she responded by taking off her shoe and using it to hit him in the genitals.<\/p>\n

When she arrived at Paddington, she pointed the attacker out to an official and he was arrested, the book said.<\/p>\n

Camilla did not confirm those details in the interview.<\/p>\n

The queen is the second wife of King Charles, who ascended the throne in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
