Queen Elizabeth expressed her long-standing wishes to see Princess Katherine as a future Queen, not just as a queen consort.

This revelation caused a stir within the royal family, particularly for Queen Camila at the Balmoral Summit.

Prince William proposed Progressive changes, including a review of Royal finances and the involvement of new family members in active royal duties. Queen Camila strongly opposed plans to exclude her relatives from Royal funding and transfer responsibilities to the younger generation.

This tension culminated when Camila questioned Katherine’s readiness and ability to handle the role of Queen. Queen Elizabeth’s wishes have always been a crucial element in royal succession, and she envisioned Camila as a queen consort once Prince Charles ascended the throne.

Queen Elizabeth expressed hope and confidence that the people would support Camila in her new role, laying the foundation for the future Queen Catherine.

Their close relationship includes numerous pieces of advice and guidance shared over tea gatherings and visits. Katherine’s recognition within the royal family became evident in 2019 when she was awarded the title of Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order.
