Here’s what’s actually happening:
Camilla reportedly “stunned and furious” — what’s true?
There’s no credible mainstream report supporting the sensational headline “Camilla stunned and furious as King snubs her.” The story seems to stem from speculative or clickbait sources, not reputable outlets.
What did happen: The King honored Catherine
- Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, was recently appointed a Companion of Honour by King Charles III—a prestigious order limited to 65 members, honoring exceptional achievements in arts, science, medicine, or government
- This marks the first time in over a century a royal family member has been granted this alongside mainstream public recipients
What caused the drama?
- Some tabloids and royal blogs claim Camilla was upset, expecting the accolade herself and resenting Charles’s focus on Kate. These narratives are common in royal gossip but lack confirmation from reputable sources like BBC, Reuters, or AP.
Broader royal context
- While Camilla remains Queen Consort, the King’s recent honors reflect a shift toward boosting William and Kate’s role in modernizing the monarchy .
- At the same time, Camilla continues to carry major duties—stepping in when both the King and Kate have been ill—showing she still holds significant influence
ottom line:
- True: Kate becomes a Companion of Honour
- Unsubstantiated: Camilla’s “furious” collapse or being “stunned” by being snubbed—these appear to be gossip, not fact.
