Catherine is said to be taking on more behind-the-scenes training, and it is reportedly causing tension within the royal household, particularly with Queen Camilla.
According to a source speaking to Closer magazine, King Charles has been increasingly focused on preparing the Prince and Princess of Wales for their future roles, even as he settles into his own reign. The insider claims the King is happy for William and Catherine to shadow him closely and to be given greater influence on major decisions.
The reason, the source says, is simple. Charles is said to deeply admire Catherine and sees her as a stabilising force within the monarchy. He reportedly views her as a genuinely kind and principled person who puts the wider institution first.
However, this shift in focus has allegedly not gone down well with Camilla. The insider suggests her attitude has become “overly zealous,” adding that there is growing concern she needs to rein in feelings of envy or resentment before they escalate into a larger issue.
What worries those close to the situation, including the King himself, is the impact all of this could have on Catherine. After everything she has faced recently, the source warns that added pressure and internal friction are the last things she needs, especially when she is simply trying to do her job and support the future of the monarchy.
