In a shocking and emotional turn of events, Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II, has reportedly sent a heartfelt and tragic message to her brother, King Charles III. At 73 years old, the Princess Royal, known for her stoic nature and sense of duty, has made an extraordinary public plea, demanding that Camilla, the Queen Consort, be removed from Buckingham Palace.
The message, said to have been delivered in private but leaked to the press, contains Anne’s emotional claims that Camilla “harmed my mother” — a reference to the late Queen Elizabeth II. The wording of the statement has stunned many royal observers, as it suggests deep-seated anger and resentment towards the Queen Consort, who has been married to King Charles since 2005.
The background to Princess Anne’s statement reportedly stems from longstanding tensions within the royal family over the relationship between Camilla and the late Princess Diana, Charles’s first wife. Anne, who was notably close to her mother, Queen Elizabeth II, is said to have resented Camilla’s role in Charles’s life during the years of his marriage to Diana and beyond. According to some insiders, Anne believes that Camilla’s actions over the years, including her public and private relationship with Charles, hurt the monarchy and caused irreparable damage to her family.
Anne’s plea to remove Camilla from the Palace comes at a time when the royal family is still grappling with its post-Queen Elizabeth transition. King Charles’s reign has already faced challenges, with public scrutiny over his relationship with Camilla and questions regarding his ability to maintain the unity of the royal family. Anne’s demands to exclude Camilla have added fuel to ongoing rumors of deep divides within the family, especially among those who feel that Camilla’s role as Queen Consort has created tension rather than unity.
In her message, Princess Anne was said to have written that her mother — Queen Elizabeth II — “suffered in silence” during the years of turmoil caused by the media scrutiny surrounding Charles and Camilla’s relationship. Anne is reportedly angry that Camilla, who once was seen as the “other woman” in the breakdown of Charles and Diana’s marriage, now holds a position of such prominence within the royal family.
However, it is important to note that the royal family has remained largely silent on these claims. King Charles, ever the monarch, has taken a more diplomatic stance, focusing on maintaining the family’s image and continuing with his royal duties. Publicly, he has shown support for Camilla, who was given the title of Queen Consort after the passing of Queen Elizabeth.
This tragic message from Princess Anne reveals the deeply personal and emotional struggles within the royal family. It highlights the complex web of relationships, hurt feelings, and unresolved tensions that continue to shape the future of the British monarchy. While it remains to be seen how King Charles will respond to his sister’s demands, this latest drama only adds to the ongoing challenges he faces as the head of the royal family.
