Queen Camilla has taken on significant responsibilities in the Royal Family over recent years, transforming from a figure of dislike to one of affection. With King Charles and Kate Middleton facing cancer diagnoses, Camilla and Prince William have become prominent faces of the monarchy.

Camilla entered William’s life after Princess Diana’s death, and their relationship initially faced challenges. Although their bond has grown stronger, some sources suggest Camilla is wary of William’s influence.

Their relationship had a rocky start, especially with Camilla’s initial interactions with William and Harry. However, they have developed a supportive partnership, particularly as they’ve navigated recent health issues together.

Royal expert Christopher Andersen suggests Camilla has always felt somewhat intimidated by William and was not initially supportive of his relationship with Kate Middleton. Despite this, Camilla’s efforts to connect with the family have been appreciated, especially by Kate, who values Camilla’s genuine demeanor.

Recent events, including the removal of Camilla’s sister from the Duchy of Cornwall’s payroll, have stirred speculation about their relationship. Andersen argues this decision was a necessary business move, not a personal slight.

According to family sources, William and Camilla have grown closer, particularly since Charles and Kate’s illnesses. The strained relationship with Prince Harry has also influenced this dynamic. While Camilla and William have had their differences, their relationship has become more familial over time, thanks in part to Kate Middleton’s positive influence.
