Millions of people around the world watched as King Charles and Queen Camilla were crowned. While all the fuss was going on, there were reportedly rifts in the royal family, especially between Kate Middleton (the Princess of Wales) and Queen Camilla.
Royal experts say that Kate’s failure to bow down to Queen Camilla during the ceremony was a sign that she was unhappy. People in the room were surprised that Kate didn’t move when Camilla left, even though she did bow to King Charles.
The crowning ceremony also showed how complicated family relationships can be. Some of Queen Camilla’s family members, like her ex-husband and children, were there, but Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, was missing. Tom Bower, a royal expert, says Kate may have had something to do with Meghan not going to the event.
There are sure to be more problems in the royal family, especially as Kate Middleton’s role changes. Because she will soon be queen, Kate is expected to play a big leadership role, but her relationship with Queen Camilla could be tough.
Even the most perfect royal family can have flaws, as shown by the complicated family relationships at play. It’s still unclear how Kate Middleton will handle the complicated relationships in the royal family as they get used to King Charles’s rule. She will likely have to become a leader in her own right.
