The queen, who has supported UK-based domestic violence organizations for more than a decade, has made supporting survivors a main focus of her royal work.

The Queen sent a personal letter of support to French rape survivor Gisèle Pelicot, Buckingham Palace has confirmed. Ms Pelicot was drugged and raped by her ex-husband, who also recruited dozens of men to also abuse her,

Among Gisele Pelicot's supporters include the queen herself. Queen Camilla was "tremendously affected" by the French woman's story of being drugged and raped by her husband and dozens of his friends hundreds of times over a period of almost 10 years,

Gisele Pelicot waived her right to anonymity at a historic mass rape trial in France last year where 51 men, including her ex-husband, were sentenced for abusing her.

Gisèle Pelicot was repeatedly drugged and raped by her husband over a 10-year period and her bravery in the face of such horrendous abuse captured the attention of the Queen.

Queen Camilla reportedly wrote to brave Gisele Pelicot, who was drugged by her husband and raped by him and dozens of other men over almost a decade, to express her support
