London:
Britain's Queen Camilla fought off a would-be attacker on a
train when she was a teenager by hitting him with her shoe, according to a new
book about the royal family.
Camilla, 78, was travelling on a train to Paddington station
in London when she was about 16 or 17-years-old when a man started to assault
her, said the account in the book "Power and the Palace" which is
being serialised in the Times newspaper.
She responded by taking off her shoe and hitting him in the
genitals with her heel. When she arrived at Paddington she pointed the attacker
out to an official and he was arrested, the book said.
The author, former Times royal correspondent Valentine Low,
said Camilla, who married King Charles 20 years ago, had recounted the story
during a meeting with former prime minister Boris Johnson in 2008 when he was
the mayor of London.
Low said the account was relayed to him by Johnson's former
communications director.
Camilla, who has for many years championed charities and
causes which seek to end sexual and domestic violence and support victims, has
never publicly spoken about the incident. Buckingham Palace declined to comment
on the account.
