Camilla Stunned and Furious as King Snubs Her — But Bestows Major Honor on Catherine! (Full Details Below)
In a shocking twist at Buckingham Palace, sources reveal that Queen Camilla has been left “stunned and deeply hurt” after King Charles III bypassed her for a prestigious royal honor — and instead chose to bestow it upon Catherine, Princess of Wales.
According to insiders, the King recently held a private meeting with senior royal advisors and made the unexpected decision to grant Catherine one of the monarchy’s most revered ceremonial roles: Colonel-in-Chief of the Grenadier Guards — a position long associated with deep royal legacy, military tradition, and previously held by Prince Philip and briefly by Prince Andrew.
This move has taken many in the royal household by surprise — but none more so than Queen Camilla herself. Sources close to the Queen Consort say she had been “quietly expecting” to receive a new honor or ceremonial role, especially after stepping up so visibly during the King’s recent health struggles. Her tireless public service, especially since becoming Queen, had positioned her as a loyal and stabilizing force within the monarchy.
But King Charles, in a clear and symbolic gesture, chose his daughter-in-law — who is currently undergoing treatment for cancer — as the one to carry the mantle. Royal commentators interpret this move as not only an expression of the King’s admiration for Catherine’s grace and strength in the face of adversity but also a sign of his long-term vision for the monarchy’s future.
“Charles is thinking ahead. He knows that Catherine represents the next generation. She is loved by the people, respected across the Commonwealth, and carries the same elegance and duty that once defined Queen Elizabeth II,” a senior palace source told The Times.
The decision has reportedly caused quiet tension behind closed doors. While Camilla has not made any public statements, insiders suggest she was “visibly shaken” when the announcement was made. Some even describe her as feeling “overshadowed” — once again — by the woman the public affectionately calls “Kate.”
Meanwhile, Catherine has humbly accepted the honor, releasing a short statement through Kensington Palace: “It is with deep respect and gratitude that I take on this responsibility. I will continue to serve with all my heart.”
Royal watchers say this move strengthens Kate’s position as a future Queen Consort and underscores the royal family’s enduring trust in her.
One thing is clear: the Windsors are entering a new chapter — and Catherine is firmly at the heart of it.
