Why ‘angry’ Kate Middleton ‘refused’ to curtsy to Queen Camilla at coronation: report

Rumors are circulating about rising tensions within the royal family, particularly between Princess Catherine (Kate Middleton) and Queen Camilla. A royal biographer, Tom Bauer, has revealed why Princess Catherine allegedly refused to curtsy to Queen Camilla during King Charles’s coronation on May 6. According to Bauer, Catherine was reportedly angered by the guest list for the coronation, which caused friction between her and the newly crowned queen.

Bauer claimed that the Princess of Wales was upset over the disparity in the guest list, stating that while Camilla invited 20 guests, Catherine was allowed to invite only four of her family members. This exclusion reportedly did not sit well with Catherine and her husband, Prince William, especially when they noticed that even Catherine’s siblings were not permitted to bring their parents. Bauer further claimed that the people who helped transform Camilla’s image from a mistress to the Queen were also furious for being excluded from the historic event.

The royal biographer continued, explaining that during the coronation, when King Charles and Queen Camilla left Westminster Abbey, everyone curtsied to the king, but there was no movement when Camilla passed by. Those who had been excluded from the event, including Princess Catherine, visibly refused to acknowledge Queen Camilla, signaling palpable tension. Bauer noted that this discord was felt throughout the venue, even spilling over into the next day’s coronation concert, which was held before 20,000 people.

The anger surrounding Camilla seemed to persist even at the Windsor concert the following day, where Prince William notably did not reference Queen Camilla. Bauer pointed out that the tension between the royal family members was evident, and that this was not the first time Camilla had experienced family drama. Prior to the coronation, Camilla allegedly had a tense conversation with Princess Anne about her new title as Queen Consort. According to reports, Princess Anne took issue with Camilla being referred to as “Queen,” preferring the term “Queen Consort,” which sparked further unrest.

Bauer also highlighted that there were reports of Camilla’s deteriorating health, with insiders noting that she appeared tired and worn out in the weeks leading up to the coronation. Some even suggested that this exhaustion could be a sign of deeper problems within the royal family, with the tension around Camilla’s role potentially weakening her influence. Meanwhile, Catherine, who was well-received by the public during her appearance in Bristol, was seen as embodying a future queen figure.

Further complicating matters, royal expert Christopher Anderson claimed that Camilla’s actions had further alienated Prince Harry from his father, King Charles. Camilla reportedly took steps to distance Charles from Harry, ensuring that the king was reminded of the negative press surrounding her, especially when Charles considered offering Harry a reconciliation.

The royal drama continues to unfold, and it appears that tensions surrounding Camilla’s position within the family are far from resolved. With growing dissatisfaction among certain members of the royal family, the long-term implications for the monarchy remain uncertain.
