Releases Emotional Message Supporting Survivors of Abuse
Queen Camilla has issued an emotional message in a new video released by King
Charles III’s office, coinciding with her ongoing work supporting survivors of
abuse.
In a clip shared on the royal family’s social media accounts, the 77-year-old
Queen celebrated 50 years of Women’s Aid, a charity providing lifesaving
support to survivors of abuse and their families. Her message, shared by
Buckingham Palace, read: “Together, we will put an end to it.”
The statement comes shortly after Prince Harry ruled out a UK return for his
children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, during an interview at the New
York Times DealBook Summit. Harry reiterated his decision to relocate to the
US in 2020 and expressed his satisfaction with raising his family there.
In the video, Camilla paid tribute to Women’s Aid and their efforts, saying:
“Thank you to Women’s Aid for your focus and support to this critical issue.
To our Queen, thank you for giving this a platform. Together, we will put an
end to it.”
The statement also highlighted the global significance of the Queen’s
engagement: “Coinciding with the United Nations #16Days, a global campaign to
end violence against women and girls, The Queen joined survivors, supporters,
and staff of the charity as they mark their 50th anniversary year.”
Founded in 1974, Women’s Aid oversees a network of 180 specialist
organisations and almost 300 support services aimed at ending violence against
women and girls.
Adding a touch of royal connection, Camilla donned a dress previously worn by
the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, during her recent engagement in Hounslow.
Sophie, often referred to as the royal family’s “secret weapon,” had worn the
ÂŁ3,600 Loewe leather midi dress during her visit to Cranford College, where
she participated in a cooking event last month.
Camilla’s powerful statement reaffirms her commitment to championing causes
that address critical societal issues while maintaining a united royal front.
