Queen Camilla meets mass rape sufferer Gisele Pelicot as she honours courageous sufferer’s ‘braveness’
The Queen reached out after a sickening trial which laid out how Gisele was repeatedly drugged and raped by her then-husband Dominique over a decade
The Queen met brave rape survivor Gisele Pelicot after the 73-year-old received a personal letter of support from Camilla.
The Queen reached out after a sickening trial which heard Gisele was repeatedly drugged and raped by her then-husband Dominique over a decade.
Monster Dominique also invited men he met online to abuse her. The sex beast was sentenced to 20 years in prison last year in France. A court in the city of Avignon found all 51 of the sickos on trial guilty.
The Queen, a supporter of charities helping rape and sexual abuse victims, had hailed Pelicot in her letter for her “courage” and “grace”.
She wrote: “I very much wanted to write to express my heartfelt admiration for the courage, grace and dignity with which you have faced the horrific crimes committed against you.”
The royal also told the mum-of-three she had “inspired women across the globe” and “created a powerful legacy that will change the narrative around shame, forever”.
She added: “Thank you for all that you have done.
“You are very much in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope that you will now be able to rest and recover from this devastating ordeal.”
Earlier this month, Gisele revealed the letter and said: “It was an honour for me to receive this letter. I wasn’t expecting it at all.
“I was overwhelmed that the Queen could send me this letter. Although my words touched the whole world, I wasn’t expecting a letter from the Court of England.
“I felt moved and very honoured that she had become aware of what had happened to me. I am grateful to her.”
