Camilla used her address at the Women of the World Festival in London to speak out over domestic violence.
She commented: “On this tenth anniversary, as WOW’s proud president, it’s a huge pleasure to be here today.
“But I’m also here as a woman in her s, who, as a somewhat anci ent technophobe, is not always familiar with some of the jargon younger people use today, but I do know about hashtags.
“And now I am using my very first one: #everyonesproblem.
“Domestic abuse is everyone’s problem and the solution must be too.
“I find it almost impossible to think any friend of mine might be living under that horrific threat, without my knowing it, but that is the power of coercive control and violence in the home. ”
