The crowning of King Charles and Queen Camilla was an unforgettable occasion, celebrated by millions around the globe. Yet, behind the curtains, it seems there were some tensions in the royal family, especially between Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, and Queen Camilla.
A Royal Tension: Kate Middleton’s Reported Frustration
Experts on royalty have pointed out that her choice not to curtsy to Queen Camilla might indicate her unhappiness. During the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, guests usually bow or curtsy as a sign of respect when King Charles and Queen Camilla pass by. However, Kate’s decision to stay still while Camilla left caught attention from those present including royal writer Tom Bower.
Family Dynamics on Display Vacation
A notable part of the coronation was how many family members of Queen Camilla were there. Her former husband Andrew Parker Bowles along with their kids Tom and Laura plus several grandchildren joined in on this historic day.
Tom Bower has mentioned that Kate might have felt upset about how different families were represented at the coronation.
The Role of Meghan Markle and Family Tensions
Kate Middleton is said to have played a part in keeping Meghan Markle away from attending the coronation.
According to expert Bower, Kate made it clear that Meghan should not be at this event because she wanted a more genuine atmosphere. While Meghan decided to stay back in America with her kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet this family situation keeps drawing attention as a source of tension within royal circles.
What Does This Mean for Kate Middleton’s Future?
As the royal family adapts to King Charles’s new reign, Kate Middleton’s role is changing too. She is seen as someone who could become queen one day taking on an important leadership position like her late mother-in-law Princess Diana did.
However, just like her relationship with Queen Camilla shows us; getting closer to being queen may come with complicated family dynamics and unresolved issues.
