Queen Camilla and Carole Middleton may lead very different lives, with one being the Queen of England and the other being the mother of a future queen, but one thing they definitely have in common is their status as grandmothers.
However, given Prince William’s preference for the entire Middleton clan, claims continue to be made that highlight how the royal is not too thrilled.
There are also rumors that his relationship with Carol is only positive on camera, as behind the scenes “it’s a very different story.”
According to a reputable source I spoke to heat world“You can immediately see Camilla’s discomfort rising whenever Carole walks into the room. Everyone else in the family, including Charles, adores her, which many see as the main reason Camilla doesn’t like her. Camilla is polite on the face but it’s no secret that she thinks she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She’s worried that she’s secretly trying to undermine her.”
Plus, according to the source, “It doesn’t help that Carole is with William like thieves”. After all the situation they’re in, “There aren’t a lot of people right now that he and Kate can completely trust, so from their perspective it makes complete sense to turn to someone like Carol that they trust.”
However, where the issue arises elsewhere is how deeply Carole has stepped up since Kate’s cancer. As the source describes it, “The reality is that Carole has stepped up at a time when she needs support and has proven herself to be a steady, compassionate presence.”
She has also managed to form a close relationship with Anne over the past few years, so she is now said to be ‘very much’ part of the inner circle, ‘whether Camilla likes it or not.’ And “Going forward, William’s place will be even more secure when he’s calling all the shots,” he said, explaining this trickle down effect as the world awaits the heir’s coronation.
Her fears regarding Carole are not limited to Prince William as the source claims she finds his alleged bid to establish herself in a ‘much bigger role’ troubling, with another concern being her own husband King Charles.
Because while she’s heard William praise Carole repeatedly, what really “infuriates” her is “given how effortlessly Carole gets into it, it’s safe to say she’s better liked by many in the family than Camilla.” What makes things worse is that “It’s not really something she can complain about to Charles. He’s so fond of Carole, anything she says against him will seem like sour grapes.”
So “his friends got an earful.” It is said that within her inner circle, “She’s always talking about the special treatment Carole gets and says she has too much influence on her and it’s against royal protocol. Any criticism she gets is like water off a duck’s back for Carole, which upsets Camilla even more. But it’s a one-sided battle because Carole is refusing to fight; she’s very sure of her place and just doesn’t get involved in the drama.”
