GB News suddenly ground to a halt for a breaking alert about Queen Camilla, as anchors Eamonn Holmes and Dawn Neesom paused in their regular broadcast to discuss her incredibly candid interview with BBC journalist John Hunt.

“I’d sort of forgotten about it, but I remember being so angry. Somebody I didn’t know… I was reading my book and this boy, man, attacked me.

“I did fight back, and I remember getting off the train and my mother looking at me and saying, you know, ‘Why is your hair standing on end and why is there a button missing from your coat?’ I was physically attacked. But I remember anger.”

The Queen had to fight off the man who attacked her at Paddington Station back in the 1960s, when she was on her way to visit her mother. She beat him back using her shoe.

She added: “I was so furious about it and it sort of lurked for many years, and I think when the subject about domestic abuse came up, it’s something that I feel very strongly about.”

Viewers rushed to support Queen Camilla, with one praising the “brave” monarch for speaking about her experience.

One X user tweeted: “Very good for her to speak about this.”

Another said: “What a truly remarkable and courageous story from the Queen.” While a third echoed: “This is a confession that requires a great deal of courage.”
