Prince William at war with Queen Camilla for compelling reasons

The dispute comes amid heightened tensions within the royal family following the arrest of Andrew Windsor, 66, and the ongoing fallout from the rift with Prince Harry, 41, and Meghan Markle, 44.

Although Charles reported some improvement in his condition earlier this year, his public agenda remains demanding, including a state banquet for the Nigerian president and a subsequent visit to Cornwall, with a trip to the US planned for next month.

An insider described a recent flashpoint at the Nigerian state banquet, highlighting the growing rift between William and Camilla.

They said: ‘William has urged his father to slow down and really take a step back to focus on his health, but every time he brings it up it seems to stir up tension as Camilla is seen encouraging Charles to continue with his public duties. It becomes a recurring point of conflict between them.

‘The state banquet in particular really brought those differences of opinion to the surface. William was adamant that Charles simply did not feel well enough to be present and should have prioritized rest, but Camilla was adamant that their presence was necessary, especially given the supervision of the family.

“Eventually they moved on, but it didn’t eliminate the concerns; it increased them.”
