William and Kate's future as King and Queen is causing ‘tension’ with Charles and Camilla

The Prince and Princess of Wales attend Trooping the Colour in 2024.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have long been one of the most popular royal couples, and for many years insiders and experts have discussed their future roles as King and Queen. Experts have claimed that Kate 'holds the future of the monarchy in her hands', while others have spoken about how their more relaxed approach to royal life will impact the monarchy as we know it today.

However, in a new report, one royal insider has claimed that the discourse around William and Kate's future roles is 'a sensitive topic' in the Palace and has caused 'occasional tension'. According to a source in a piece for Us Weekly, Charles and Camilla want to enjoy their roles as King and Queen given that they were 73 and 75 years old when they were officially coronated. They also alleged that Camilla is very fond of her role as Queen, and is 'particularly hesitant to pass on her duties to Kate', claiming: "She loves her responsibilities. Her whole life, she has always wanted to be queen, so she doesn’t want to let it go so fast."
