She’s Outspoken

While the Queen has to be tightlipped on her opinions, those around her enjoy more freedom. Camilla champions causes close to her heart, including the elderly, victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, and animal welfare. Speaking at an event marking 50 years of Refuge, which supports victims of domestic abuse, the

Duchess made some strong remarks: “Although society’s attitudes towards the crime, the perpetrators and the victims have changed enormously over the last 50 years, your work, sadly, is as necessary as ever. We know one in four women in England and Wales will, at some point, experience domestic abuse. Thankfully, you continue to save lives, working with many thousands of women every day.”
