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.

The US and Iran have launched new strikes against one another throughout this week.
Meanwhile, the coffin of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s former supreme leader killed by Israel in February, has been on a procession tour this week of holy sites in Iraq and Iran.
Huge crowds gathered wherever it went, the coffin was passed over a sea of hands, and three of Khamenei’s sons wept over the coffin in Tehran.
US President Donald Trump says he’s “number one on the kill list for Iran”.
The peace between the US and Iran is fragile, at best. At worst, it could be over.

Drugs gangs are flooding the north of England with cheap cannabis grown overseas and sold to mimic slickly marketed, legal marijuana from the United States, a BBC investigation has learned.
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”.
