Camilla Parker Bowles Wanted Prince William, Kate Middleton To Split, Biographer Says
Kate Middleton and Camilla Parker Bowles were reportedly feuding because the latter is not supportive of the former's relationship with Prince William.
The Duchess of Cambridge has adjusted to her royal life well. In fact, she appears to be on good terms with the other members of the Firm. However, according to Christopher Andersen in his book "Game of Crowns: Elizabeth, Camilla, Kate and the Throne," Middleton and Camilla's relationship didn't start out so well.
The Duchess of Cornwall wanted Prince William and Middleton to split. In fact, Camilla asked the Prince of Wales to ask his son to break up with Middleton when they were started going out.
Camilla was reportedly jealous because Middleton was well-liked. The public favored the Duchess of Cambridge over the Duchess of Cornwall which irked the latter. No matter what their past was, the two duchesses seem to be going along fine at the time.
In related news, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge confessed that they split for a short while before their royal wedding. According to Middleton, it was a hard time, but it made her stronger.
"I think I at the time wasn't very happy about it, but actually it made me a stronger person," Middleton said. "You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn't realised. Or I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you are younger."
During their split, Middleton flew to Ireland with her mom, Carole. The mother and daughter duo were spotted at the Urban Retreat Gallery and national Gallery of Ireland. When the press tried to interview Middleton, she reportedly "politely declined" because the media wasn't informed about her split with Prince William at that time.
After a few months, Prince William and Middleton get back together. During their engagement interview, the two shared how they met and the duchess confessed that she couldn't help but blush during their first encounter.
"I actually went bright red when I met you and scuttled off feeling very shy about meeting you," Middleton told Prince William about their first meeting.
According to Christopher Anderson's biography "William and Kate: A Royal Love Story," the duchess curtsied when she met Prince William. Unfortunately, by doing so she accidentally caused him to spill a drink all over himself, so Middleton scuttled off.
