Parkes, who joined Camilla for the BBC interview, started a foundation, the Joanna Simpson Foundation, named after her daughter, which helps young people affected by domestic violence. Camilla first met Parkes in 2016, according to the BBC.

\"I was so deeply shocked,\" Camilla said of her first meeting with Parkes. \"I don't think in those days I really knew that much about domestic abuse because it was ... a very hush-hush subject and it was a taboo subject, so to actually sit there and have somebody talking about, well, I'll never forget that moment.\"

\"And I don't think I would be as involved in it now, if I hadn't met you,\" Camilla said to Parkes.

Camilla, making her first in-person public appearance since testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this month, said she wants to see a culture change when it comes to violence against women, noting the change starts at an early age.

\"I think children at school have got to be taught respect,\" she said. \"We have got to go back to the beginnings and just build up this idea that you have to have respect for human beings. It's lack of respect. It's treating women like chattels and people thinking they can get away with it.\"
