Queen Camilla Pens Heartfelt Letter to Brave Survivor, Gisele Pelicot
- Queen Camilla of Britain pens a heartfelt missive to Gisèle Pelicot
The captivating saga of Gisele Pelicot, a woman of extraordinary dignity and courage, has deeply affected Queen Camilla. In her own words, the Queen expressed, "Why should I feel like a victim, or be shrouded in embarrassment?" Such was the profound impression that Pelicot left on her.
For years, the 72-year-old Gisele Pelicot had been a pawn in her husband's twisted games, repeatedly drugged and offered for sexual assault by him. The unbreakable spirit of this remarkable woman saw her demand that "shame should be on the perpetrators, not the victims." With her ex-husband and 50 other defendants handed prison sentences in the highly publicized trial in December, Pelicot has become an inspiration for many.
An online petition to bestow the Nobel Peace Prize on Gisele Pelicot garnered over 173,000 signatures. She was even named 'Woman of the Year 2025' by 'Time' magazine.
