Kate Middleton and Camilla Parker Bowles are being pitted against each other primarily because of their future role as queen consort and princess consort, respectively.
This week, National Enquirer published a story about the two female royals by saying that Camilla is making Middleton’s life miserable because she’s a threat to her future role.
The only narrative from the tabloid claims that since Queen Elizabeth and a lot of people like Middleton more than Camilla, the latter’s role as princess consort is in danger. After all, the queen could, allegedly, decide to pass on the throne to Prince William, and this will make Middleton the new queen consort.
When this happens, Prince Charles would be bypassed from the throne. And Camilla will no longer have the opportunity to become a princess consort. This is something that the Duchess of Cornwall has always wanted.
As such, in order to prevent Middleton from taking over her role, Camilla is trying to meddle in her daughter-in-law’s life both personally and professionally. She’s also, allegedly, spreading rumors about Middleton to Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
However, Gossip Cop debunked the tabloid’s claims by saying that Middleton isn’t a threat to Camilla’s future role. After all, the order of succession is solely based on birthright and not on public opinion and rumors.
Since Prince Charles is the eldest child of the reigning monarch, he will be crowned as king after his mom dies. When this happens, Camilla will become a princess consort because she’s legally married to Prince Charles.
The Duchess of Cornwall would’ve been known as queen consort if she was Prince Charles’ first wife. But as a sign of respect to the late Princess Diana, Clarence House confirmed that Camilla will be known as princess consort.
So, regardless of what the tabloids say about Middleton and Camilla, the former will never become queen consort before her mother-in-law. The only time this could happen is if Prince Charles and Camilla die after the queen.
Meanwhile, Middleton and Camilla feud rumors have been rife for years. And just last week, In Touch Weekly claimed that there are fears in the palace over the queen’s deteriorating health.
Since the monarch, allegedly, knows that she doesn’t have long to live, she’s already thinking about the future of the British monarchy. The queen, allegedly, wants Prince William and Middleton to head the monarchy because she believes in them more than she believes in Prince Charles.
