Queen Camilla reportedly fears being overshadowed by Kate Middleton‘s popularity and refuses to be pushed aside by the Princess of Wales. Prince William and Camilla did not initially share a particularly warm relationship, though they later developed a good working rapport.
Similar reports suggest that while Middleton and Camilla remain professional with each other, their relationship is somewhat cold. Now that Middleton is the future Queen Consort, sources claim that Camilla fears she could be pushed aside once William takes the throne.
Queen Camilla reportedly fears being overshadowed by Kate Middleton, claims insider
Queen Camilla reportedly fears being overshadowed by Kate Middleton once Prince William takes the throne. The Queen Consort celebrated her 79th birthday on July 17. However, William and Kate’s official social media account did not share a congratulatory message on her big day.
A source told Heat World that tensions are soaring behind the palace walls. They added that Camilla believes William and Middleton will “push her aside” once they take the throne.
Camilla is reportedly not taking this well, as she is “incredibly protective of her position,” the source added. She is said to be highly concerned about maintaining her status and role within the royal family. Plus, according to the source, her ego is “fragile.”
This means she could be particularly sensitive to anything that makes her feel less important or powerful. With Middleton set to become the future Queen Consort, Camilla reportedly worries that she could lose her influence.
The source added, “She sees threats at every turn, and she would argue that her vigilance is for good reason because William and Kate are so openly covetous of the throne.” She allegedly feels that they are “breathing down her neck.” Moreover, she believes that once they take over, she will become much less important within the royal fold.
The source concluded, “She is convinced they are colluding against her. It’s no secret that she and William clash quite badly, and she’s had her spats with Kate as well, so they’re never going to be close.”
