The coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla was a memorable event, celebrated by millions worldwide. However, behind the scenes, tensions within the royal family are said to have emerged, particularly between Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, and Queen Camilla.
A Royal Tension: Kate Middleton’s Alleged Frustration
Royal experts have pointed to her refusal to curtsy to Queen Camilla as a sign of discontent. During the ceremony, when King Charles and Queen Camilla made their way through Westminster Abbey, royal guests traditionally bow or curtsy as a sign of respect. However, Kate’s apparent decision to remain still during Camilla’s exit raised eyebrows among those in attendance, including royal biographer Tom Bower.

An interesting aspect of the coronation was the large number of Queen Camilla’s family members in attendance. Her ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, their children Tom and Laura, and several of her grandchildren took part in the historic day.
Tom Bower has suggested that Kate may have been upset by the disparity in family representation at the coronation.
The Role of Meghan Markle and Family Tensions
Kate Middleton reportedly played a role in keeping Meghan Markle from attending the coronation.
According to royal expert Bower, Kate made it clear that Meghan should not be present at the event, citing the need for a more genuine and authentic atmosphere. While Meghan chose to remain in the U.S. with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, this family dynamic continues to attract attention as a source of underlying tension within the royal fold.
What Does This Mean for Kate Middleton’s Future?
As the royal family adjusts to the new reign of King Charles, Kate Middleton’s role continues to evolve. She is widely seen as a future queen who could take on a significant leadership role, much like her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.
However, as her relationship with Queen Camilla shows, the road to the throne may be filled with intricate family dynamics and unresolved tensions.
