The royal continued: “No one knows what goes on behind any front door.
“It affects everybody. It doesn’t matter who you are.
“That would be my message to people: whoever you are, wherever you are from, there are organisations that can help you.
“Go and get help. Talk to them, just get up and talk about your experiences. They will help.”
The wife of Prince Charles addressed a crowd at Clarence House for the 15th anniversary of Safe Lives, a charity that takes a stand against domestic violence.
The royal says she will do everything in her power to urge victims to get help.
Camilla revealed: “I had [in 2016] the privilege of hearing incredibly brave women standing up to tell their stories – harrowing stories that reduced many of us listeners to tears.
“But with each story, the taboo around domestic abuse weakens and the silence that surrounds it is broken, so other sufferers can know that there is hope for them and they are not alone.
“You give us all hope that those survivors can live their lives in peace, and be victors, not victims of these horrendous crimes, hopefully ensuring that domestic abuse can be made a crime of the past.”
