In the documentary, Queen Camilla spoke about what drove her to spend the last ten years raising awareness of domestic and sexual violence. She said: "One of the most difficult things about domestic abuse, to understand, it's not the bruises and the black eyes, which, unfortunately you see, through violence, this is something that creeps up very slowly and, far too often, it ends up with women being killed."

The 77-year-old continued: "You meet somebody, you think they're wonderful and attractive and love you…and then bit by bit, they start to undermine you. They take away your friends, they take away your family…and then when you start questioning it…these people become very violent."

The film saw Camilla meet with Diana Parkes, whose daughter, Joanna Simpson, was killed by her estranged husband. The Queen said of Diana: "I think she's so strong, because not many people would be able to survive the death of their daughter. I admire her more than I can say."

Her Majesty The Queen: Behind Closed Doors is available to stream on ITVX.
