Harry in his memoirs Fire he was not at all kind to Camilla Parker Bowles. He left behind her character villains accusing her of exchanging favors with British tabloids by exchanging information about her adopted children and spouses in exchange for favorable coverage “to improve her reputation and image”.

As seen in the video, as Charles and Camilla take their seats in the stands during the coronation concert, they walk in front of Kate and William already in their seats with George and Charlotte. And while the Princess of Wales bows to the death of the king and queen, the husband pays tribute only to his father, thus violating royal protocol. Was it an oversight? William forgot the label for a moment?
According to real-life writer Angela Levin, there’s more to it than that. William would not have had an idyllic relationship with Camille and would not have considered her a member of his family.. “William made it clear that Camille was his father’s wife, but not the grandmother of his children,” his book says. Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort released last September, “George, Charlotte and Louis actually know they have two grandparents, but only one grandmother.” Levine then elaborates that the Queen, in turn, “didn’t try to take on any responsibility as a foster grandmother, especially since Kate’s parents, Carol and Michael Middleton, are so close.”
Just the close connection of Kate and William with the Middleton family could become another reason for disagreement with the sovereign. “Princess Kate refused to squat in front of Queen Camilla as she left Westminster Abbey,” said royal biographer Tom Bower, a guest on the program.

Kate would take offense at the veto of her father-in-law and his wife to invite only four members of his family to the big day (parents and brothers Pippa and James without spouses), while the queen, between children and grandchildren, gathered twenty Parker Bowles at the abbey, including the former husband Andrew. A decision that also did not sit well with William, who, in addition to not bowing during the Windsor Castle concert, only spoke of his father in his speech, “not mentioning Camilla”. A common animosity that could bring the two brothers closer together?
