Duchess Camilla Reportedly Disapproved Of Kate Middleton For Prince William

In Christopher Andersen's book Game of Crowns: Elizabeth, Camilla, Kate and the Throne, the biographer claimed that there was a rift between the two duchesses. The Duchess of Cornwall was reportedly not impressed with the Duchess of Cambridge for her stepson, Prince William.

Andersen said in the book that Camilla found Middleton "pretty, but rather dim" and "too lowly" to marry the second in line to the throne, Express reported.

Camilla allegedly wanted Prince William and Middleton to split. She even talked to her husband, Prince Charles, to speak with his son and advised him to dump his then-girlfriend, Andersen wrote.

However, the royal author also claimed that Camilla's disapproval of Middleton was due to her jealousy because the latter was more popular. Prince William's then-girlfriend and now-wife is well-loved and supported by the public that some royal fans want the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to take over the throne after Queen Elizabeth, which is not happening at all.
