"I was a young freelance journalist...I was wearing the same accreditation pass as anyone else but rather than being directed to the media centre, I was handed an apron and pointed in the direction of the kitchens of the Twickenham corporate hospitality suites"

📍Physical abuse

"Later, when I finally got to the press box...one man I had never met before, out of nowhere, gave me a full body check as I walked by him and grabbed my crotch. I was terrified. Not just by this unexpected act but of what people would think if I reported it"

Camilla never planned to become a royal reporter, but when her former editor offered her the job she couldn’t refuse.

16 years later, she found herself at the centre of a media storm over a royal interview with Oprah Winfrey.
