Royal Family News – Prince William Supports The Queen’s Decision
According to the Daily Mail, “Prince William was not part of the decision-making process … but is ‘respectful’ of the logic of his grandmother’s decision.”
Camilla’s role in the monarchy has long been mired in controversy owing to the perception that she played a part in the ruination of Charles’ first marriage to the late Princess Diana. Diana’s popularity is reflected in her nickname, The People’s Princess.
According to one source, her presence in Charles’ life, “was not an easy relationship at first – or indeed for a number of years after her marriage to his father – the second in line to the throne is pragmatic about Camilla’s role in his father’s life and, now, the future of the monarchy.”

Another source indicated that while William was not part of the decision-making process, he and Charles would have discussed the matter and he presumably given his blessing. “None of this can have been easy for him,” according to one insider. “There were huge family rows in the early stages of Charles and Camilla’s marriage as everyone found their feet. William didn’t have the best relationship with his father back then.”
The source added, “But he sees that Camilla had made his father happy and it is something he has come to terms with.”

William’s friends insist that, “William still believes he has a role to champion his late mother’s legacy and will never shy away from speaking about Princess Diana, her achievements or the way she was treated, not just by the Royal Family but by the media and establishment.
Another source said, “But as everyone says, time is a great healer – in many different ways.”
It’s been disclosed since that Prince Charles changed his coronation vows several years ago to include ‘Queen Camilla’ – with his mother’s blessing. The title was, “part of a general reworking of plans for the Westminster Abbey ceremony up to five years ago, a senior palace source said.”
