Highlighting the Queen's work in the sector, the documentary will showcase one year of engagements and meetings with survivors of domestic abuse.

In a newly released preview for the series, Camilla can be heard saying: "I want to do something about this."

At the beginning of the video, she says: "I don't know where you'd like me to begin," before revealing several shots from different engagements and meetings across the year.

In one shocking scene, one woman said: "He pointed the gun at my chest and told me he loved me and pulled the trigger."

Camilla has been a passionate campaigner on the issue for over a decade, working with organisations to break the taboo around the issue and support survivors.

The Queen has done pioneering work in the sector, meeting survivors, undertaking visits to Sexual Assault Referral Centres across the country, and even launching the wash bag scheme.

In the new documentary, viewers are expected to see various examples of the Queen's work to tackle to issue, including scenes of her hosting a roundtable with teenagers, and celebrating International Women’s Day at Buckingham Palace.

It is also set to explore the root of perpetrators' abuse and how the cycle can be stopped in its tracks.

The film has been directed by Angela Byrne and Kerene Barefield. When it was first announced that the royal would be taking part, Barefield said it was a "privilege" to work alongside Camilla.

"It has been a privilege to have been entrusted to produce this film and observe firsthand Her Majesty The Queen's work in the field of domestic abuse," she said.

"Our aim was to not only highlight the devastation caused by domestic abuse in the UK, but also give a voice and re-empower the victims.

"The Queen is not alone in trying to 'obliterate' this curse, and we have been honoured to work with charities and services who work on the frontline to support survivors, rehabilitate victims and campaign for change.

"We are humbled that our brave survivors have told their stories on camera. It is our belief that by sharing them in this film, we can help people understand what abuse looks like in 2024.

"If we understand what it looks like, together we will be able to tackle domestic abuse and make a difference."
