Royal showdown: Kate Middleton’s bold snub to Queen Camilla ignites a firestorm in Buckingham
Feud between Kate and Camilla started in 2011.
Kate Middleton’s decision not to curtsy to Queen Camilla was a clear indication of her disapproval of King Charles’ wife and her mishandling of his coronation, according to sources. While Kate is known for her poised public image, insiders reveal that she is no pushover when it comes to royal politics.
The feud between Kate and Camilla reportedly traces back to Kate’s wedding to Prince William in 2011. It is said that Kate concealed her true feelings towards Camilla until after the death of Queen Elizabeth, putting on a brave face during public events. Royal biographer Tom Bower highlighted a crucial moment during the coronation on May 6, where Kate deviated from tradition and chose not to bow or curtsy as Camilla and Charles exited Westminster Abbey.
Bower explained: “As the king and queen leave the thrones and head for the exit of Westminster Abbey, you’ll see that everyone bows and curtsies to the king and no one moves a limb, a muscle when Camilla passes.” This deliberate gesture was believed to be a response to Camilla’s recent behavior. An insider revealed: “That obvious insult raised eyebrows big-time. Apparently, Kate was seething over commands Camilla made about coronation guests and decided to make her angry feelings very obvious.”
