A private letter from Buckingham Palace highlights her continued support for vulnerable families in Samoa
Queen Camilla has taken on an important responsibility on behalf of King Charles, underscoring her steady role within the royal family. A personal letter from the Queen, quietly released by Buckingham Palace, revealed her renewed support for a charity in Samoa one year after her visit to the country with the King.
Their tour to the Commonwealth nation was marked by warm welcomes and emotional moments. Now, Camilla has used the anniversary of that trip to bring fresh attention to the challenges faced by vulnerable women and children who are living with abuse in Samoa.
In her letter, read during an event hosted by the British High Commission, she expressed her gratitude and commitment. She said she was pleased to become Patron of the Samoa Victim Support Group, noting how deeply she had been moved by the charity’s work when she visited their facilities last year. Camilla praised the organisation for its impact across the islands and voiced her support for efforts to help survivors and prevent further harm.
The charity responded by saying they were honoured to have her as their patron. They described the moment as a significant blessing, especially as they marked twenty years of work supporting children, women and people with disabilities.
The event was attended by SVSG president Siliniu Lina Chang, the Head of State, government officials and members of the diplomatic community.
