Queen Camilla Hails Gisèle Pelicot's Courage in Private Meeting
TL;DR
Queen Camilla hosted rape survivor Gisèle Pelicot at Clarence House, telling her she was speechless by her account in the memoir. Camilla, a long-time advocate for victims of sexual violence, read Hymn to Life in two days and praised Pelicot's courage after sending a personal letter of support commending her for waiving anonymity. Pelicot's case led to convictions of her ex-husband and 50 other men, and the meeting came as Pelicot promoted the memoir.
