In his book, “Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography,” author Robert Jobson reveals that Camilla would often gently remind William of his position in relation to his father.

Robert described an instance when William and Kate requested to join Charles and Camilla’s security convoy departing from Windsor Castle. However, the two kept the older royals waiting.

Camilla reportedly insisted on leaving without them. This led to William and Kate seeing only the flashing lights of the departing motorbikes as they emerged.

Fans, upon learning about this incident, have expressed a range of opinions about Camilla and her relationship with William. One fan stated, “Camilla deserves all the disrespect Britain can dish out to her.”

Another commented, “She’s been his stepmother for a long time and sometimes parents and stepparents have to put you in your place royalty or not. Lol.”

A third fan questioned William’s respect for his mother, noting, “If that is the case what respect does William have for his Mom. William’s step Mom if you can call her that does not control, but she might be trying.”

More fans voiced strong opinions about Queen Camilla and her role within the royal family. One commented, “Not sure she knows what disrespectful means given her own behavior.”

Another warned, “Camilla should watch her step. She outranks William right now, but that isn’t going to be the case in a couple of years.”

One fan speculated, “Charlie has Camilla taken care of and she had their own home before they married. The mare will be put out to pasture when William takes over. Notice he doesn’t bow to her.”

A critic also added, “She is more than cheeky. The fact that she thinks she should/could even keep Prince William ‘in check’ is another case of her delusions of grandeur.”

One fan noted with humor, “lol! It sounds like Camilla doesn’t correct William for being disrespectful to his father; she corrects him, to remind him that SHE is the one in charge!” Another predicted, “Don’t worry. When he becomes King, William will get his revenge.”

An online user also warned, “She better get ready for the reign of King William. She will be banished and rightfully [so]. Karma always prevails.”

A further comment stated, “Better watch it Camy. Once chuck is gone you’re either gonna be back in the stable or rooming with Andrew. Take a lesson from sis.”

Another fan anticipated, “When Charles is gone, I think Camilla can look forward to a ‘grace & favor’ cottage — at John O’Groats. Or perhaps moving in with one of HER kids.” A more dramatic comment read, “Given half a chance? I believe William would kick her gown a flight of stairs.”

Lastly, another fan said, “Of course she tries. I would hope she’s smart enough to foresee the future where she has no say…for now she can persuade KC to do as she says. PW’s time will come where he will rule and change everything that will not benefit Camilla or PH.”

As developments unfolded within the royal family, William is said to have developed a stronger bond with Camilla. This closeness comes from him recognizing and valuing her unwavering commitment to her responsibilities.

Additionally, as per royal expert Hilary Fordwich, they have bonded over their spouses coping with cancer treatment.

On February 5, 2024, the royal family announced that Charles had undergone a hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement. Another health concern was discovered during this time as diagnostic tests revealed a form of cancer.

His Majesty began a regular treatment schedule and has been optimistic about his treatment, eager to resume his full public duties.

Former Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak assured the public that the cancer was caught early. As the public wished him a quick recovery, Harry also flew from the US to see his father and William.

A month later, on March 22, 2024, Kate disclosed her cancer diagnosis in a heartfelt video shared on social media. The diagnosis came after she underwent what was initially considered a successful major abdominal surgery in London in early 2024.

This procedure was originally reported as a treatment for a non-cancerous condition. However, post-operative tests unexpectedly detected cancer, leading to the immediate start of preventative chemotherapy treatments for the Princess.

Six months after the news, in September 2024, the Princess of Wales announced on Instagram that she has completed her cancer treatment. “As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,” she wrote.

The royal noted that being cancer free is currently her main priority, adding, “Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.”

As much as William and Camilla bonded over their spouse’s health ordeal, the pair’s relationship still seems to be on the mend. In July 2024, The Prince of Wales removed Annabel Elliot, Camilla’s sister and interior designer, from the Duchy of Cornwall payroll following his assumption of the role.

Over the past 20 years, Annabel, 75, received several hundred thousand pounds for her services. She was initially hired by King Charles III, then Prince of Wales, in 2005 after his marriage to Camilla, her sister.

William is described as more methodical and decisive, with a tendency to take a firmer stance on issues compared to his father, who is portrayed as more emotional and guided by his heart.

Helena emphasized that despite disagreements on certain protocols, the royal family recognizes the importance of supporting one another.

He noted that Camilla has been astute enough not to attempt to instruct William, which has contributed to their smooth interactions.

Despite her public image, Hilary highlighted that Camilla has never been a particularly maternal figure. She was distant with her children and would not interfere in Charles’ relationship with his kids even though she reportedly informed him of their weaknesses.
