Queen Camilla is currently considered a popular member of the royal family. Because she had been Prince Charles’ mistress during his marriage to Princess Diana, the public was still angry with her when they started dating and eventually married.
However, the situation has changed significantly.
The ex-Parker Bowles spouse has taken on a lot of duty while her husband is undergoing πππ£πππ§ treatment. Kate Middleton’s popularity continues to climb, and she may resume royal duties after her πππ£πππ§ treatment is completed.
Even though Camilla and Kate were thought to have had a warm connection in later years, things changed after she became queen. For example, it appears that Kate no longer has a vote in what she might wear on formal occasions with the queenβif she hasn’t already approved it.
The royal family follows various norms and traditions, such as what to eat, how to act when presenting at royal occasions, and even how to greet the public.
Speaking with Express, a source close to the queenβs official dresser revealed Camillaβs odd request for Princess Kate and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the two other senior royal women. While all three like wearing blue to official royal responsibilities, the queen has the final word on whether or not that is permitted.
Queen Camilla is the highest-ranking authority, thus she gets to decide what war to wage.
According to Express, Camila’s personal dresser, Jacqui Meakin, first “ruffled a few feathers” at the Palace since Camilla had strict guidelines regarding who may wear what hue. And, in most cases, this includes wearing blue.
Although Camilla was believed to be very stringent at initially, Kate and Sophie were eventually allowed to wear the same colour as long as it looked different enough.
βThe Queen can now choose her outfits before the other women in the Royal Family.β βItβs part of the royal pecking order, which includes the clothes and colour,β the insider explained. βHer Majestyβs favourite colour is blue, as is Kateβs. Sophie is also very fond of it.
The source stated, βThere was a period when Jacqui [Meakin] was hesitant to allow blue to be worn at the same time as the Queen, but sheβs now fine with it as long as the blues are very different hues. In the end, everything became a little hilarious, with all the ladies seeing the funny side.β
