In a stunning revelation that is making headlines today, the final wishes of Queen Elizabeth II have just been unveiled, and they shed new light on the fraught relationship between the late monarch and her daughter-in-law, Queen Camilla.
This explosive news has sent shockwaves through the public, unmasking tensions that have long simmered within the royal family.
However, the latest bombshell isn’t just about Queen Elizabeth’s passing—it’s about her long-standing relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, the current Queen Consort.
According to Robert Harman’s book *Charles: A New King, A New Court*, Queen Elizabeth was extremely cautious about her son’s relationship with Camilla, particularly in the years following the breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana.
As many royal observers know, Queen Elizabeth was not shy about her disapproval of Camilla during the early stages of her son’s relationship with the former Duchess of Cornwall. Reports suggest that the Queen found it difficult to reconcile her son’s public infidelity with Diana, especially after the scandal erupted in the 1990s. Queen Elizabeth even famously withheld her approval for Charles to marry Camilla, delaying the union for many years.
Even as Camilla was officially made Queen Consort following Charles’s ascension to the throne, it is clear that Queen Elizabeth’s feelings on the matter remained complicated and unresolved.
Her absence at key moments in the couple’s relationship stands as a testament to the deep divide that existed between them.
The relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Camilla has long been a subject of public fascination, especially given the scandalous history between Charles and Diana. In the wake of these recent revelations, many have started to reflect on where they stand in this royal divide.
