Queen Camilla Parker is stepping up for survivors of domestic violence, proving her dedication to this cause in a heartfelt way. In exclusive footage from the documentary “Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors,” Camilla met with four incredible young women from the SafeLives Changemakers group, aged 15 to 20.

During the meeting, Camilla reflected on her own grandchildren, comparing them in age to the young Changemakers and noting how a connection between people of similar age could make a difference. The Queen praised their idea to introduce pop-up workshops in schools, saying it’s a “brilliant project.”
“It is going to take a long, long time because it has been going on forever,” Queen Camilla said of domestic violence. But I think if you look at the steps that we’ve taken since the bad old days, we have made a huge amount of progress, and I shall keep on trying until I am able to no more.”

With two teenage granddaughters herself, Camilla’s passion for this cause is personal. She’s committed to pushing forward initiatives that challenge harmful behaviors in young relationships and advocating for better education in the U.K.’s national curriculum.
