After so many years, the possible reasons why the late queen cannot stand the Princess of Wales are revealed.
Amid the serenity and splendor of British royalty, an intriguing chapter about family relationships at the palace has been revealed. The royal expert has shed light on the tense relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Princess Kate Middleton, revealing that not everything was harmony from the beginning of their relationship, especially during the first years of courtship with Prince William.
Despite the image of unity that both projected, it has been revealed that Queen Elizabeth did not show a favorable inclination towards Kate. This has been a cause of concern for the heir to the throne, who fears that the tragic story of his mother, Lady Di, will be repeated. But what are the reasons behind this cold relationship?
The rigidity and conservatism characteristic of the remembered queen were manifested in several episodes, such as when she demanded that the princess bow before her granddaughters Beatrice and Eugenie during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. This situation was perceived as a humiliation for the Duchess of Cambridge, marking a breaking point in her relationship with the monarch.
The sovereign expressed concern that Kate Middleton would hog the spotlight during the Diamond Jubilee festivities, going so far as to intervene to prevent the duchess from becoming pregnant on key dates. This control over Kate's life reflects the Queen's perception of her potential as a future "people's princess", a role that does not fit the traditional view of Elizabeth.
Criticism of Kate Middleton's wardrobe choice during official events has also been evident, questioning her spending on clothing from prestigious designers such as Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen. These frictions reveal a subtle rivalry between the Queen and the Princess of Wales, where envy and control seem to play a determining role in the family dynamic.
Princess Kate Middleton's tireless social and humanitarian work has been the determining factor in earning the admiration and respect of both the population and the British crown. Her dedication and commitment to charitable causes have left a positive mark on the royals, showing that, despite their differences, her legacy will transcend the disagreements of the British royal family.
