The Crux Behind Kate’s Near Refusal of the Title
When Camilla Bowles tied the knot with King Charles in 2005, she had the opportunity to become Princess of Wales.
However, the Queen consort chose the title Duchess of Cornwall instead. In a similar fashion, Princess Kate also refused the iconic title. Moreover, royal author Christopher Andersen isn’t too surprised at this bizarre royal pattern.
He explained, “She was Princess Diana’s archnemesis; Diana called her ‘the Rottweiler,’ and Camilla referred to Diana as ‘Barbie.’” Chris explained that it wasn’t in Camilla’s best interest to insist on the title’ Princess of Wales.’
According to him, the two ladies were fierce rivals, and Camilla played havoc on Charles and Diana’s marriage.
Additionally, millions of folks resented Camilla, and she read between the lines. So, obviously, it wouldn’t have been wise for her to insist on the title Princess of Wales.
Who knows, she might have provoked public outrage! Andersen elaborated, “No one is more closely associated with the Princess of Wales title than Diana.”
The royal expert believes Diana embodies it even after her death. Meanwhile, Rober Jobson, who authored ‘Catherine, Princess of Wales,’ claimed that Catherine was “refusing” the title. He explained, “[Kate] knew she would inevitably be compared to Diana.” And let’s not forget how Diana’s tragic death triggered a massive wave of anger and grief.
However, when the time came, Middleton accepted the title with “good grace.” He attributed it to a long time that had passed. According to him, the future Queen “had been on the world stage long enough to be recognised for her own qualities.” Jobson wrote. “As soon as Camilla married Charles, she became Princess of Wales, period.”
Furthermore, Chris mentioned that Catherine has always been “in awe of the power of Diana’s memory.” He added that she has “never pretended she could fill Diana’s shoes.” Keep an eye on Soap Opera Daily for more updates on Princess Kate.
