The coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla was a grand affair, watched by millions around the world. However, behind the pomp and circumstance, tensions within the royal family have begun to surface. According to royal experts, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has been growing increasingly frustrated with Queen Camilla over the details of the coronation.
One notable incident that raised eyebrows was Kate’s apparent refusal to curtsy to Queen Camilla during the ceremony. As King Charles and Queen Camilla made their way through Westminster Abbey, royal guests traditionally bow or curtsy as a sign of respect. However, Kate remained still during Camilla’s exit, sparking speculation about a possible rift between the two women.
Royal biographer Tom Bower has suggested that Kate may have been upset by the large number of Queen Camilla’s family members who attended the coronation. Camilla’s ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, their children, and several of her grandchildren were all in attendance, creating a noticeable imbalance in family representation.
Another factor contributing to the tension is Kate’s reported role in keeping Meghan Markle from attending the coronation. According to Bower, Kate made it clear that Meghan’s presence was not desired, citing the need for a more genuine and authentic atmosphere. While Meghan chose to remain in the U.S. with her children, this family dynamic continues to attract attention as a source of underlying tension within the royal family.
As the royal family navigates the new reign of King Charles, Kate Middleton’s role continues to evolve. She is widely seen as a future queen who could take on a significant leadership role, much like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. However, as her relationship with Queen Camilla shows, the road to the throne may be filled with intricate family dynamics and unresolved tensions.
