Some time ago, the British royal family caused a lot of turmoil, which aroused widespread attention and discussion. At the heart of these events was Camilla, the wife of King Charles. For a time, Camilla became the focus of public opinion, accused of being ambitious and scheming, wanting to seize the actual control of the British royal family in one fell swoop.
It all started with Princess Anne. As the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and the only sister of Charles, Princess Anne has always been very prestigious and deeply respected and loved by the British people. However, in a recent public occasion, Princess Anne directly criticized Charles.
As we all know, after the death of the queen, Charles succeeded to the throne, as a new monarch, naturally wanted to do something to gain the trust and support of the people, so Charles proposed that in order to reduce the burden on British taxpayers, he would drastically reduce the number of royal members.
Later, it was said that the idea came from Camilla's idea. Charles has always been willing to listen to Camilla's advice, and their idea may be simple: they hope to reduce the cost of the royal family by streamlining the royal family.
It is said that at that time, Princess Anne raised strong objections to this. She pointed out that since the death of the Queen and Prince Philip, coupled with the departure of Prince Harry's family and the inability of Prince Andrew to participate in official activities due to scandals, the current members of the royal family are far from being able to take on the heavy official activities. If the staff is significantly reduced, I am afraid that the situation will be worse.
Two days ago, Princess Anne also made a special mention of Princess Kate's recent illness. She believes that if it weren't for the overly heavy work and the burden of caring for her children, Princess Kate would not have fallen ill. And this result is directly caused by Camilla's "bad idea".
It can be said that Princess Anne's words are not only speaking out for the current working conditions of the royal family, but also secretly accusing Camilla of that set of practices. After all, cutting staff can certainly reduce expenses, but if you don't make adequate preparations and adjustments in advance, it can backfire and put the entire royal family in a more passive situation.
However, this is clearly not Camila's intention. In her view, the reduction of personnel is just a cover, and her real purpose is to arrange for her relatives to enter the royal family and become the new core members.
This can be seen after the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the accession of Charles to the throne. Originally, Camilla had to hide her ambitions, but after Charles's coronation, she no longer hid it.
She openly demanded that her daughter and grown grandson be made members of the royal family, and that important positions be given. Isn't this clearly seeking the benefit of his own relatives, in order to establish his own power within the royal family.
And that's exactly what happened. In recent important events, it has been discovered that Camilla's children have attended more often and in status than other members of the royal family, such as Charles and William. Even at Charles's coronation, Camilla specially embroidered the names of her relatives on her dress, as if to declare her status and influence.
This practice is undoubtedly provoking other members of the royal family, especially William's family. As Charles's eldest son, William is the direct heir to the British throne. However, since the death of the queen, William and Kate's family also seem to have been "targeted" by Camilla.
At the Christmas dinner at the end of last year, William's family left early, but the leading role was occupied by Camilla's family. Since then, Princess Kate has not been seen at any of the royal family's public events.
At the same time, Princess Kate's intimate circle is also quietly shrinking. Her female bodyguard, Emma Probert, and personal assistant, Natasha Archer, have both left their posts and have been replaced by some of the former Queen's side. This raises the question of whether Kate is suffering from a kind of invisible ostracism.
What's even more disturbing is that during this time, Princess Kate has been in a state of seclusion, and even when it is rumored that she has cancer, she rarely shows up. This long-term absence is very rare and unusual.
And at the same time as Kate's disappearance, another person also caught everyone's attention, and that was Prince Harry. As the Queen's grandson, Harry has not had a good relationship with Charles. And after the death of the queen, Camilla took a series of measures against Harry.
First of all, after the coronation of Charles, Camilla completely controlled the core power of the entire royal family. Instead of hiding her ambitions, she mercilessly began to ostracize those who were not popular with her, and Harry was one of them.
Under Camilla's manipulation, Harry's royal status has been increasingly marginalized, and he can no longer participate in any important royal activities. Some people even speculate that the reason why Harry chose to stay away from Britain and leave the royal family is largely because of Camilla's suppression.
It can be said that since the death of the queen, Camilla has begun her path of "revenge". Step by step, she began to ostracize and marginalize those who were not popular with her, such as Harry and even the Williams. In the process, she began to vigorously support her relatives, hoping to eventually establish her own power within the royal family.
Naturally, this situation also aroused the strong dissatisfaction of Princess Anne. As the daughter of the Queen, Anne has always been loved by the public, and she has always stood on the side of the legitimate heir to the royal family. Therefore, when she saw Camilla's practices, she naturally had to strongly criticize and oppose them.
But the problem is that after the death of the queen, Charles has actually become the top decision-maker of the royal family. And Camilla is his wife and the person he trusts the most. So, Charles is basically completely at the mercy of Camilla.
This has created a very interesting situation: on the one hand, the power struggle within the royal family has intensified, with Princess Anne, Harry and Diana's sons all being ostracized and marginalized, and on the other hand, Camilla has become more and more powerful, and her relatives have gradually become the new backbone of the royal family.
Some people have even begun to speculate that if this situation continues, maybe one day, Camilla will actually announce herself as Queen of England and take over Charles's place.
Although this is just everyone's speculation, if we carefully analyze the current situation of the British royal family, we will find that this possibility is not completely impossible. After all, Camilla has shown her ambition and means, and in the face of Charles's weakness, she also seems to have the weight of the flirtatious.
Therefore, we might as well wait and see what kind of big changes will happen to the British royal family in the future. Whatever the outcome, this series of events undoubtedly reflects the complexity and intensity of the power struggle within the British royal family. For the British public, this is undoubtedly a topic of great concern.
