Queen Camilla Demands Allegiance from Kate Middleton as She Prepares for Queen Consort Role
Camilla Parker-Bowles, soon to be crowned queen consort alongside King Charles, is reportedly cautioning rival Princess Kate to display greater respect, according to a recent report.
Sources claim that Queen Consort Camilla anticipates Kate Middleton's obedience, with one insider stating, “It’s been this elephant in the room for so many years since Camilla feels Kate merely tolerates her. But things are about to get very different. That means Kate – and everyone else in the royal household, for that matter – needs to fall in line or incur her wrath!”
It is said that Queen Consort Camilla is determined to assert her status and expects stepdaughter-in-law Kate to cater to her every wish. Insiders suggest Camilla, who played a significant role in the collapse of Prince Charles' first marriage to Princess Diana, is eager to enjoy the perks of her new position.
Another source noted, “Camilla is taking full advantage by attending all the key meetings while ensuring she’s thoroughly debriefed on those she can’t attend. Nothing gets done without her knowledge or consent – and that’s how it’s going to stay for the long term.”
Although Kate Middleton is known for her non-confrontational demeanor, sources indicate she is irritated by Camilla's assertiveness. One informant maintained that while Kate will support King Charles' decisions, she refuses to be intimidated by Camilla.
The source also emphasized that Kate is not easily pushed around, as demonstrated by her previous clashes with Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife, who left royal duties in 2020 to pursue opportunities in California.
However, skeptics argue that Meghan is closely monitoring the situation in Buckingham Palace and sees Kate's predicament as an opportunity. One insider revealed to National Enquirer, “Meghan would never admit it, but it must give her a tremendous amount of satisfaction that Camilla has the upper hand. It spells opportunity, and that’s why Meghan’s making an added effort to get on Camilla’s good side. If Meghan does attend the coronation, you can bet she’ll be doing her utmost to build on their connection.”
Camilla will be the first consort crowned at a British coronation since 1937. Following the ceremony, her title will change to Queen Camilla, dropping "Consort."
Prominent royals like Prince William and Kate Middleton are expected to attend the joint coronation in support of King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla. Camilla will also receive support from trusted royal companions, including Sarah Troughton, Jane von Westenhold, Fiona, Marchioness of Landsdowne, Lady Katharine Brooke, Lady Sarah Keswick, and Baroness Carlyn Chisholm.
While the final guest list for King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla's coronation has not been released, anticipated attendees include senior European royals, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, peers, foreign heads of state, and several religious representatives, such as Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis.
