\"Camilla,<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

The coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla was considered a huge success by most everyone who watched it. All senior members of the Royal Family members attended the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, including Prince Harry, who flew in to see his father become king.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prince William and Kate Middleton also had the privilege of having all three of their children on hand for the occasion, with Prince Louis being deemed old enough to attend a major royal event for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interestingly, though, William and Kate\u2019s late arrival to Westminster Abbey certainly seemed to annoy King Charles a bit. By all accounts, the rehearsals for the ceremony had gone well, and the margin for error\u00a0regarding timing\u00a0was close to zero.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of the ceremony, the guests, including the royals, were to bow to Charles and Camilla as they made their way towards the entrance and their awaiting carriage. According to royal expert Tom Bower, however, Kate had other plans, and refused to curtsy. In fact, it\u2019s now being claimed that she was all but happy with what Camilla had done.<\/strong><\/p>\n

King Charles and Queen Camilla have returned to work following a very stressful time. After their historical coronation weekend, the royal couple took some well-deserved days off to rest. Prince Willian and Kate Middleton, on the other hand, decided to carry on with their royal duties.<\/p>\n

Since her entrance onto the royal scene, Kate Middleton has become very popular among royal fans. It seems she takes on a more prominent role each year; many believe she will make a fabulous queen one day.<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton reportedly played part in keeping Meghan out of coronation<\/h2>\n

But while she is very popular, behind the scenes, Kate has reportedly had some rifts with other members of the Royal Family. It\u2019s not only the out of favor Meghan Markle who\u2019s felt the brunt of Kate\u2019s ire, but also, according to an expert, Queen Camilla too.<\/p>\n

Despite rumors raising questions over his potential involvement, Prince Harry ultimately made it to his father\u2019s coronation ceremony. Reports claim that he left for the US the moment after his father and stepmother had exited Westminster Abbey. Meghan, meanwhile, remained in the States with the couple\u2019s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. But was she only staying behind because it was the easiest thing for the Sussex family, one might wonder?<\/p>\n

According to royal expert and author Tom Bower, Kate Middleton had a say in the decision and didn\u2019t \u201cunder any circumstances\u201d want Meghan in attendance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we must all be grateful that Kate, in the end, I think, prevented Meghan coming and said she wouldn\u2019t have her there under any circumstances,\u201d Bower said during an appearance on GB News, as reported by\u00a0Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the expert claimed that Kate warned Meghan that if she attended, she\u2019d have to \u201csit in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a royal source told Page Six that Meghan decided against not attending the coronation as she felt it would be \u201cinauthentic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had to make a decision that felt genuine and authentic, especially after everything thaexpret has been said and all the things that have gone down,\u201d an insider familiar with the family\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coronation day \u2013 Queen Camilla\u2019s large family gathering<\/h2>\n

Many prominent guests attended the coronation ceremony. People from all over the world, including members of foreign royal families, heads of state, and foreign ministers. Even some celebrities could be seen sitting in Westminster Abbey on the big day. Royal enthusiasts also caught a glimpse of a few people they rarely get to see: Queen Camilla\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

Camilla had a large number of family members in attendance. Her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles was there with their two\u00a0children<\/a>, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes, as well as several of their grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Camilla is a grandmother of five. Tom and his ex-wife share a daughter, Lola Parker, Bowles and a son, Freddy Parker Bowles. Laura and her husband, Harry, share a daughter, Eliza, and twin sons, Gus and Louis.<\/p>\n

Three of Camilla\u2019s grandchildren had roles as Pages of Honor. The queen\u2019s sister, Annabel Elliot, and a friend, the Marchioness of Lansdowne, attended the coronation ceremony alongside Camilla\u2019s nieces, Alice Irwin, Katie Elliot, Ayesha Shand, and nephew Ben Elliot.<\/p>\n

According to ABC royal reporter Victoria Murphy, the coronation marked a new step for Camilla\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamilla\u2019s family are very much front and centre at this event, and that is interesting as this is a state occasion, and they are usually totally private,\u201d she\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamilla\u2019s family being so involved and visible does send, I think, a message about just how important she is to Charles\u2019 reign and very much reminds us that this is their Coronation, not just his.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton said to be furious with Queen Camilla<\/h2>\n

Kate Middleton, on the other hand, only had four family members supporting her in Westminster Abbey; sister Pippa Middleton, brother James Middleton, and parents Carole and Michael Middleton.<\/p>\n

The fact that Camilla had that many family members at Westminster Abbey appears not to have gone down well with everyone. According to royal expert Tom Bower, there were signs of tensions between Queen Camilla and Princess Kate on coronation day. He claims the latter took issue with the number of guests allowed for the former. Bower also said that Kate didn\u2019t \u2018move a limb\u2019 when Charles and Camilla left the Abbey.<\/p>\n

That Camilla \u2013 one of the two main characters on such a historical day \u2013 had so many family members in attendance shouldn\u2019t be considered strange. Even so, it appears it\u2019s one reason as to why Kate is less than happy with Camilla.<\/p>\n

Interviewing Bower on his show, TV host Dan Wooton pressed the so-called \u2018royal expert\u2019 to explain things further, and asked if the expert biographer believes Kate\u2019s gesture \u2013 or lack of \u2013 could have been over the number of Parker Bowles family members present at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamilla bought twenty Parker Bowles\u2019 to the coronation, and there were four Middleton\u2019s,\u201d Bower said Dan Wooton Tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what was even more noticeable was at the Windsor concert the following day, William makes no reference to Queen Camilla. So there is a tension there.\u201d<\/p>\n

The biographer then claimed the tension was a \u201cdangerous position for Charles to be in,\u201d especially after an \u201cexhausted\u201d Queen Camilla \u201cdisappeared\u201d from the public eye as Kate was \u201cbehaving like the Queen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bower explained that \u201cnobody moved a muscle\u201d when Queen Camilla left the Abbey.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody curtsied to Camilla\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cIf you look at the Coronation footage, as the King and Queen leave the thrones and head for the exit of Westminster Abbey, you\u2019ll see that everyone bows and curtsies to the King and no one moves a limb, a muscle when Camilla passes,\u201d the royal expert said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s because they were angry with her. No-one moves. Kate and William were angry too. That anger went right through that small part of the congregation by the throne at the centre of Westminster Abbey. And in that moment it was absolutely noticeable to those people who had been excluded that nobody \u2013 let alone Kate \u2013 curtsied to Queen Camilla.\u201d<\/p>\n

It must be said that Camilla\u2019s grandchildren did an excellent job as Pages of Honor. Yet beforehand, another royal expert, Kinsey Schofield, claimed that Camilla might have taken a step too far away from royal tradition by giving them such significant roles.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cThe Royal Family\u2019s value is in their traditions. Traditions and ceremonies that the world envies. When they sway too far from those customs, you will anger and disappoint a significant amount of people that feel like those actions strip away at the mystique.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Camilla\u2019s grandchildren have gotten more attention recently, Schofield suggests they won\u2019t interest the royal fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cCamilla\u2019s popularity may have increased, but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean there will be any interest in her grandchildren,\u201d the royal expert said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNepo babies obviously exist, but if you look at the success of Princess Diana\u2019s nieces, Ladies Kitty Spencer, Amelia Spencer, and Eliza Spencer\u2026 they all share a striking resemblance to their Aunt Diana, who is universally adored.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prominent coronation role for Camilla\u2019s grandchildren<\/h2>\n

In any case, the coronation was a historical day royal fans will remember forever. That indeed also goes for Camilla\u2019s grandchildren, who suddenly saw themselves thrust into the searing spotlight of the monarchy.<\/p>\n

Camilla\u2019s family has been connecting with the Royal Family for years. However, it appears that it\u2019s only in recent times that the two families have spent time together with regards to Charles and Camilla\u2019s respective grandchildren.<\/p>\n

Like Camilla, King Charles has put in a lot of work to get to know his step-grandchildren and thus form a relationship. Six years ago, Camilla spoke on the relationship between her grandchildren and her husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we are with my husband in Scotland, he reads them Harry Potter,\u201d Camilla said. \u201cAnd he does all the voices, because he is a brilliant mimic. They sit spellbound. They love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love being with them\u201d<\/h2>\n

The coronation isn\u2019t the first big royal event Camilla\u2019s grandchildren have attended. In fact, Gus, Louis, and Eliza \u2013 the youngest bridesmaid at Prince William and Princess Kate\u2019s 2011 wedding \u2013 spent this past Christmas at Sandringham with the rest of the royals.<\/p>\n

At William and Kate\u2019s wedding, it was Eliza who got to shine. At the coronation, though, her younger twin brothers were given their time in the spotlight, getting to be part of a historical day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love being with them, eating together, going to see a film or a play. They\u2019re great enthusiasts. And it\u2019s always nice to be in touch with that generation because it keeps you abreast of young people\u2019s feelings and ideas,\u201d she previously said of her grandchildren.<\/p>\n
