"By that time, a schism the size of the Mall had developed between Buckingham Palace and St James’s," she wrote according to Express. "The Firm was split down the middle with one side sniping at the other and the senior courtiers from both camps hardly on speaking terms."

What caused the royal rift? None other than Prince Charles eventual partner, Camilla Parker Bowles.

Junor wrote that the Queen and her aides wanted to keep Camilla "out of sight," but Charles disagreed. He wanted "to bring her out into the open so that the day would dawn when the public would view her as a legitimate part of his life," which we know now is exactly what happened.

When it comes to the Sussex's and Cambridge's though, only time will tell if their alleged rift will subside.
