A former royal photographer is spilling on what's going on behind the scenes with the royals, and he's alleged that Queen Camilla is NOT here for Prince William's antics.
Ian Pelham Turner tells The Mirror that he believes Queen Camilla's "seeing William trying to create issues and she’s told Charles to stop it."
He added, "I think the reality is, it's been rumored for a while, that William has been trying to push—whatever—in the monarchy, at the moment, that he’s the driving force behind the throne and I think, Charles should be."
Prince William and his stepmom have a historically strained relationship, and last year royal expert Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly that William merely "tolerates" Camilla, who has always been "a little afraid" of him. The author also said that Camilla "needed a gin and tonic" after her first time meeting William.
Sounds rough, but a family friend also told the outlet that "William has warmed up to Camilla over time" and they have "a familial relationship these days."
"There’s a lot to overcome," they added. "William and Harry had always distrusted Camilla and felt resentment toward her because of their devotion to their mother. They never felt comfortable opening up to her in any real way. William and Harry’s distrust grew when they found out Camilla was leaking stories to the press to make herself look better."
The feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle apparently "brought them closer," as the friend notes that "William and Kate don’t want any extra drama or tension in the family—they have enough of that with Meghan and Harry It was really Kate who warmed William to Camilla. She’s never been dismissive of Camilla and always treated her with kindness."
