It continued, "At Women’s Aid Newtownards, The Queen met staff and volunteers, hearing first‑hand about the breadth and impact of the compassionate services they deliver to people at their most vulnerable."

Queen Camilla listened closely as frontline workers shared emotional stories about challenges survivors face and the service provided by the organization. Staff explained how Women's Aid offers emergency support, safe spaces, counselling and practical assistance to those experiencing abuse.

Royal fans praised the Queen's visit in the comments section, writing,  "Thats horrible. Thank you for the Queen for her support on this issue."
