The palace is once again in the spotlight — and this time, the tension is between Princess Catherine and Queen Camilla. Insiders claim Catherine is furious over Camilla’s recent moves involving her children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — and she’s no longer staying silent.
For the past several months, Catherine has been bravely undergoing chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis in March. While maintaining a low public profile, her top priority has been the well-being of her children. Despite her health struggles, she made a powerful public return at Trooping the Colour, standing proudly beside King Charles, who is also battling cancer.
But behind the scenes, tensions are reportedly rising.
The Reported Rift: Catherine vs. Camilla
According to royal insiders, Queen Camilla has allegedly begun exerting influence over decisions regarding the royal children’s public roles. Sources claim she has been pushing for more appearances from George, Charlotte, and even young Louis — a move Catherine strongly opposes.
Camilla, who favors a more traditional approach to monarchy, reportedly believes the next generation of royals should take on greater responsibility and visibility. However, Catherine has long been clear: she wants her children to enjoy as normal a childhood as possible, free from the pressures of public life.
Her and William’s choice to enroll their children in Lambrook School, away from the royal bubble, was a major step in that direction.
Catherine Stands Her Ground
Behind closed doors, Catherine has reportedly voiced her frustration directly to Prince William, emphasizing the importance of balance in their children’s lives. She’s said to be firmly against Camilla’s approach, especially when it comes to Prince Louis, who she feels is being overlooked — echoing past concerns about Prince Harry being treated as the “spare.”
Body language experts like Christopher Andersen and Judi James have noticed a shift in Catherine at recent public events. She appears more protective, particularly toward Louis, and increasingly unwilling to let her children be used as “royal pawns.”
Where Does King Charles Stand?
Amidst this reported tension, King Charles remains focused on his own health and the broader stability of the monarchy. However, his public warmth toward Catherine — especially during Trooping the Colour — has not gone unnoticed. Many royal watchers believe their bond has deepened during these difficult months.
Still, the question remains: Will King Charles step in to mediate between his wife and his daughter-in-law? And if he does, whose side will he take?
Public Reaction and the Future of Prince Louis
Fans have taken to social media in support of Catherine. Many are upset that Prince Louis appears to be receiving less attention and opportunity compared to his siblings.
“History is repeating itself,” one fan wrote on X. “Prince Louis deserves the same chances as George and Charlotte.”
Others are praising Catherine for defending her children and refusing to let royal tradition dictate their future.
With public support mounting and internal tensions reportedly growing, this family rift could lead to a major shake-up within the royal household.
