According to certain reports, there seems to be an ongoing rivalry between the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla, which allegedly led to Kate’s refusal to curtsy to Camilla during the Coronation. Reports suggest that Kate was deeply upset by the commands Camilla made regarding the Coronation guests, which prompted her to openly display her anger.
The source claims that Kate was particularly frustrated because she was only permitted to invite four family members to the ceremony, namely her father, Michael, her mother, Carole, and her younger siblings, Pippa and James. In contrast, Camilla had 20 guests of her own. However, it is important to note that the Coronation held greater significance for Camilla, as she will eventually be crowned alongside her husband, Prince William, at a later time.
Adding to the perceived insult, the newly crowned Queen extended an invitation to Rose Hanbury, a longtime friend who was previously involved in an alleged affair with Prince William. While William’s alleged affair was vehemently denied, it caused damage to his marriage with Kate. By inviting Rose, Camilla seemed to strike a personal blow.
According to the outlet, Camilla has harbored feelings of jealousy since Kate joined the royal family, leading her to consistently target the Princess of Wales over the years. Despite Kate’s polished public image and her ability to handle difficult situations with grace, the source reveals that she is no pushover, especially when it comes to navigating the intricacies of royal politics.
These reports suggest that the public feud between Kate and Camilla may have only just begun, as Kate apparently concealed her true feelings about her stepmother-in-law until after the passing of Her late Majesty in September of last year.
