Queen Camilla reportedly keeps Prince William in check with subtle reminders whenever she feels he’s not respecting his father, King Charles, a new book has claimed.
According to royal correspondent and author Robert Jobson, William would sometimes get too big for his britches back when his father was still the Prince of Wales.
In an excerpt from his upcoming book, “Catherine, the Princess of Wales,” obtained by the Mirror, Jobson recalled one particular incident involving William and his wife, Kate Middleton, asking to join Charles and Camilla’s security convoy to leave Windsor Castle.
William’s request did not sit well with Camilla, who, along with her husband, made the Cambridges wait in what Jobson referred to as a “subtle” slight.
To make her point to William, Jobson claims, Camilla instructed Charles to proceed without them.
“When Charles was left waiting for several minutes, Camilla insisted they leave,” Jobson noted.
“When William and Catherine finally appeared, all they saw were the blue lights of the motorbikes fading away.”
The Post has contacted Buckingham Palace for a statement.
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has pointed out that Camilla, 77, and Prince William have become “much closer” in recent months.
