A new book by royal author Valentine Low, titled Power and the Palace, reveals an incredible story about the Queen’s teenage years. According to Low, when she was a teenager, Queen Camilla fought off a man who assaulted her on a train by hitting him in the groin with her shoe. This incident reportedly took place in the mid-1960s on a train to London’s Paddington Station, and she was about 16 or 17 years old at the time.
According to Fox, the story was reportedly told by Camilla herself to Boris Johnson when he was the mayor of London. It was Guto Harri, Johnson’s former communications director, who shared the story with Low. Harri recounted how Camilla told Johnson, “I did what my mother told me, I took my shoe off and whacked him in the nuts with the heel”.
