Camilla Reportedly ‘Frustrated’ as Kate Quietly Advocates for William and Harry’s Reunion
Tension is reportedly brewing within the royal household, and this time it centers on Queen Camilla and Princess Kate. Camilla’s relationship with the royal family has long been complicated, shaped by lingering resentment over her once-unaccepted affair with King Charles. Now, insiders claim the situation has worsened, with the Queen openly expressing frustration toward Kate, who is said to be unwilling to fall in line with Camilla’s expectations of not meddling with the family affairs.
It is no secret that Kate hopes Prince William and King Charles can eventually reconcile with Prince Harry and move past years of public discord. Camilla, however, reportedly does not share that view and remains firmly opposed to any peace efforts. According to OK!, the Queen has questioned Kate’s judgment and is unimpressed by her approach. Insiders note that Camilla was already "insanely jealous" over Kate's glamorous appearance, and now her actions are making her repel even more.
"Kate has been encouraging William behind the scenes to think about making amends with Harry. She believes the family should try to mend their relationship, but Camilla views this as undermining the firm no-forgiveness stance she backs," shared a source talking about Kate trying to sort the issues in the royal family. While another highlighted how Camilla is aggravated over the same. "As well as her jealousy over Kate's looks, Camilla is frustrated that Kate is still advocating for Harry after all the public comments he's made. She thinks the situation has dragged on too long and has warned Kate that her approach is overly idealistic and risky," they added.
According to palace insiders, Kate is doing everything in her power to safeguard her family connection and rebuild trust, while Camilla is miffed at Harry for turning against the monarchy and leaking information to the media. "Camilla feels that any reconciliation with Harry should happen on his own terms. While Kate's efforts are well-meaning, they are viewed as adding complexity to the situation," added a source.
The Queen did not take it well, how Harry maligned the monarch's image and dragged it through the mud, but Kate feels that he deserves another chance. "Kate's efforts underline her role as a mediator within the family. She hopes to rebuild connections where she can, even if some in the royal circle view it with great skepticism," opined sources. Kate and Camilla's animosity also stems from jealousy.
The Princess of Wales stole the spotlight at the U.S. State Banquet in September, earning widespread praise for her poise, confidence, and effortless charm. Standing beside her, reportedly Camilla, appeared noticeably uncomfortable. As per her body-language, the Queen was in 'rage,' as she is “nowhere near as glam as Kate, and never will be.” An insider also added how Kate is not letting outside noise impact her decision and is paving the way for Harry.
"Kate feels it's important to safeguard family connections where she can. Her efforts have provided Harry with an opportunity to reconnect that might not have existed otherwise," they explained. Moreover, Harry's recent essay on British identity, The Bond, The Banter, The Bravery: What it Means to Be British, also highlights his love and longing for his home country, becoming a testimony that Kate's attempts are appreciated by both parties, and reconciliation may soon be on the cards.
