When it comes to the royal family, scandals and tensions are never far behind. This time, the drama takes a shocking turn as Carole Middleton, Kate’s mother, drops a bombshell about Queen Camilla—sending shockwaves through royal circles. Just as Camilla was opening up in a rare interview about her life with King Charles and how she has dealt with criticism over the years, Carole Middleton has ignited a new controversy that could change everything.
So, what exactly did Carole say? And why is it sending the royal world into turmoil? Let’s dive into the latest royal clash that is setting Buckingham Palace on fire.
A Battle for Influence: The Grandparents’ Rivalry
Behind palace doors, a quiet but bitter feud has reportedly been brewing between two sets of grandparents—King Charles and Queen Camilla versus Carole and Michael Middleton. At the heart of this conflict? The future of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Insiders claim that Charles has long resented Carole’s strong influence over his grandchildren. Sources close to the royal court reveal that Charles feels sidelined, believing the Middletons have far more access to the children than he and Camilla do.
“He’s bored, frustrated, and deeply hurt,” an insider disclosed. “He constantly talks about how he barely gets personal time with George, Charlotte, and Louis, while the Middletons seem to have free rein.”
This tension isn’t new. It dates back to 2013, when Prince George was born. Charles reportedly complained that he wasn’t given enough opportunities to see his first grandson. Things escalated further when Carole Middleton took charge of George’s third birthday party, leaving Charles feeling like a mere guest at his own grandson’s celebration.
Camilla Takes a Stand Against the Middletons
Sources suggest that Camilla has sided with her husband, believing the Middletons overstep their boundaries when it comes to Kate and the children. Camilla allegedly finds Carole too controlling and has privately expressed frustration over her dominant presence in William and Kate’s lives.
Adding fuel to the fire, William has prioritized spending holidays and vacations with the Middletons, further alienating Charles. One particularly painful moment was when William chose to go skiing with the Middletons instead of accepting Charles’ invitation for a family trip.
“Charles was deeply hurt,” an insider revealed. “He’s always dreamed of organizing family trips with his grandchildren, yet he finds himself constantly pushed aside.”
In response, Charles has reportedly invested in lavish gifts and play areas at his estates in a desperate attempt to strengthen his bond with his grandchildren. But is it too little, too late?
Carole Middleton’s Devastating Reaction
Upon hearing of Charles’ frustrations, Carole was reportedly blindsided and heartbroken. Friends say she never intended to create a divide and has gone out of her way to avoid offending the royal family.
“She’s always tried to be respectful,” a close friend shared. “She’s even avoided attending major royal events, hoping to maintain peace. But now, it seems like nothing is ever enough.”
William’s Growing Rift with Camilla
As tensions rise between Charles and the Middletons, William’s relationship with Camilla remains distant and cold. Royal expert Christopher Anderson has even revealed that Camilla once tried to break up William and Kate in 2007, believing that Kate wasn’t “high class” enough for the future king.
Camilla, known for her traditional aristocratic views, reportedly looked down on Kate’s middle-class background. This deep-seated tension still lingers today, with William maintaining only a formal, distant relationship with his stepmother.
A Family Torn Apart? What Happens Next?
With Kate battling a serious illness, William has grown even closer to Carole, leaning on her for support during these trying times. Meanwhile, Camilla remains focused on King Charles and her own grandchildren, further widening the divide.
While some royal experts believe that William and Camilla are slowly warming up to each other, others warn that this feud could permanently fracture the royal family.
So, will Carole Middleton’s influence continue to overshadow King Charles? Or will this family feud finally reach a breaking point?
One thing is certain—royal tensions are at an all-time high, and the world is watching.
