It’s Kate, Princess of Wales‘ birthday today (Tuesday, January 9). Whilst we don’t know what the royals got her for her 42nd birthday, we do know that Queen Camilla reportedly once gave her some marriage advice.
Camilla and Kate have grown closer in recent years, and it seems behind the scenes Camilla has kept an eye on the Princess of Wales.
In 2020, it was claimed that Camilla had offered some advice that would help Prince William and Kate’s relationship stay the long course. Her advice holds weight to it considering the Queen Consort has been in a relationship with now King Charles for decades.
According to royal author Robert Lacey, Camilla’s handy tip for Kate was to make sure her life follows the way William leads his.
Camilla’s marriage advice to Princess Kate
In his royal biography Battle of Brothers in 2020, Mr Lacey explained: “Camilla had confided to Kate the secret of hanging on to a busy prince: fit your timetable – well, basically your whole life – around his.”
ED! contacted reps for Buckingham Palace for comment.
Previous reports also claimed that Kate “helped” improve Camilla’s relationship with senior royals, including Prince William, in the early years of Charles and Camilla’s marriage.
After Charles and Camilla married in 2005, there was thought to be tension between the couple and Prince William.
Royal biographer Angela Levin claimed in her book Camilla: From Outcast to Future Queen Consort: “Fortunately, time helped improve Camilla’s relationship with senior royals, including Prince William, largely thanks to the Princess of Wales, who is a peacemaker.
Camilla had confided to Kate the secret of hanging on to a busy prince: fit your timetable – well, basically your whole life – around his.
“Camilla is also a conciliator and doesn’t nurse grievances. They both believe that supporting their husbands is a priority.
“Catherine has a love of the arts, which William doesn’t particularly share, and she often goes both privately and publicly with the Queen Consort and King Charles to see exhibitions.”
