Queen Camilla vows to try to end domestic violence

The Queen has pledged to try to end domestic violence.

Queen Camille told a new documentary that domestic abuse was a ‘horrific crime’ and she was determined to keep raising awareness until she ‘can do no more’.

The Queen says that “it will take a very long time” to end domestic violence, but that “we have made a huge amount of progress”.

Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors also includes interviews with survivors of domestic violence, relatives who have lost loved ones and campaigners, including former Prime Minister Theresa Mei.

One of those interviewed in the 90-minute program is Diana Parkes, whose daughter Joanna Simpson was murdered by her estranged husband in 2010.

Camilla cites the story of Ms Parkes, who co-founded the Joanna Simpson Foundation in memory of her daughter, as a turning point that inspired her work in this area.

Avon and Superintendent Sharon Baker Somerset The police, who have set up a support network, were also present on the broadcast ITV documentary.

She revealed that every week more colleagues were coming forward to say they were survivors of domestic abuse.

“We have now done a lot of work internally and changed our policies,” Ms Baker said.

‘The whole message in our organization is: you are believed and you are supported.

“So it changes the culture – it’s OK to talk about being a victim and a survivor now.”
