Prince William increasingly irritates with Queen Camilla’s behavior: always being a ‘snob’ to…
It’s not just Prince Harry who has beef with the royal family. His brother Prince William has also been secretly feuding with Queen Camilla!
It’s no secret Will and Camilla have never been the best of friends. Considering her affair with King Charles III amid his marriage to Princess Diana, that was always bound to be a complicated relationship!
The fam has put on a rather united front for the public lately. But apparently, things are still tense, even all these years later — and not just because of the affair! Recalling the moment William met Camilla when he was 17, royal expert Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly on Monday:
“She was shaking like a leaf. As soon as William left, she said she needed a gin and tonic.”
LOLz! WHUT??
While they’ve always seemed to get along in public, the Prince of Wales seemed to snub Camilla in July when he removed her sister Annabel Elliot (Charles’ chief interior designer) from the Duchy of Cornwall payroll. Andersen admitted there’s ongoing tension between the queen and future king, but he insisted it wasn’t meant to be a diss, arguing it was merely an “inevitable” business move, explaining, “William wants his own team in there.”
Meanwhile, two other sources told the outlet that William and Camilla have made great strides ever since Charles and Princess Catherine were diagnosed with cancer. A source said they have “a familial relationship these days,” while a friend of the Parker Bowles family elaborated.
William has warmed up to Camilla over time.”
But they’re not out of the woods yet, per the first source:
“There’s a lot to overcome. William and Harry had always distrusted Camilla and felt resentment toward her because of their devotion to their mother. They never felt comfortable opening up to her in any real way.”
One reason Harry and William had issues with Camilla was amid claims she was giving the press negative stories about the royals to boost her image. The source acknowledged:
“William and Harry’s distrust grew when they found out Camilla was leaking stories to the press to make herself look better.”
In Spare, Harry even revealed both brothers had begged their father not to marry his now-wife. So that says a lot! Andersen said they’ve “put on a good front” publicly, “but I don’t think they were happy with Camilla stepping in.” But thanks to being united in their spat with Harry, Will and Camilla were able to grow closer.
A source said that when the Duke of Sussex parted the family in 2020, the other royals were able to put some of their differences aside, sharing:
“It brought them closer. William and Kate don’t want any extra drama or tension in the family — they have enough of that with Meghan [Markle] and Harry.”
Kate Middleton was reportedly a key factor in this reconciliation, the Parker Bowles family friend dished:
