Queen Camilla opposed Prince William marrying ‘ordinary’ Kate Middleton

Speak with Fox Digital of Camilla, 78, who was one of the “fiercest critics” of Kate, 43, author Christian Andersen said: “Camilla always saw herself as the mistress of a king, not a queen… So she was very aware of the fact that a future king of England, she believed, would have to marry a royal personage, or at least a British aristocrat.”

Noting that Camilla’s alleged skepticism stemmed from tradition and social etiquette, he added: ‘She (Camilla) didn’t think she (Kate) was up to snuff, so to speak. She was covered in salt. She had no aristocratic blood.’

In his new book Kate!: The courage, grace and strength of the woman who will become queenAccording to the Anderses, it was not without reason that Camilla ‘objected’ to Kate’s ‘working-class roots’, since she came from aristocratic blood.
