Queen Camilla Hosts Survivor-Advocate Gisèle Pelicot at Clarence House

A palace photo of their 30-minute meeting underscored Camilla’s sustained advocacy for survivors of sexual violence.

Overview

  • Queen Camilla met French survivor-activist Gisèle Pelicot at Clarence House on Monday in London, and the palace released an official photograph of the encounter.
  • The meeting was a personal exchange focused on ways to support victims of sexual abuse, according to reports from the event.
  • Camilla told Pelicot she finished her new memoir in two days and that the case left her “shocked” and “speechless,” outlets reported.
  • After the 2024 trial, Camilla sent Pelicot a personal letter praising her courage and dignity, which Pelicot has since framed in her office.
  • Pelicot rose to prominence after waiving anonymity during a months-long trial that produced dozens of convictions and later received France’s Legion of Honour.
