Queen praises John Hunt and daughter, saying bravery prompted her to share assault story | BBC News
Queen Camilla has praised the courage of BBC racing commentator John Hunt and his family – after his wife, Carol, and two daughters, Louise and Hannah, were killed by Louise’s ex-partner.
In a conversation with John and his surviving daughter, Amy, the Queen also shared publicly for the first time, her experience of an indecent assault as a teenager.
The Queen was speaking during a discussion on violence against women on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme – guest edited by former Prime Minister, Baroness Theresa May.
The Queen told the BBC she had been “so angry” and “furious” about the attack – first reported in a book earlier this year.
She said she had “sort of forgotten” what had happened to her, but that the courage of the Hunt family had prompted her to speak about her experience.
She recalled having been on her way to meet her mother when “this boy – man – attacked me” adding “I did fight back”.
John and Amy Hunt spoke to the Queen – and the Today programme’s Emma Barnett – at Clarence House. The conversation formed part of a wider discussion about combating sexual and domestic violence – and the power of talking about experiences and trauma.

A thriving black market for “Cali weed” – high-potency strains originally cultivated in licensed dispensaries in California – has prompted an unprecedented wave of smuggling from dealers growing it in countries including Thailand.
One dealer boasted he made massive profits importing cannabis and described how he sent drug couriers from Thailand to the UK, even though he knew “most will get caught”.
