The Princess of Wales has the King’s approval to steal the limelight from him, claims a royal expert – despite him growing increasingly jealous of Princess Diana for doing the same thing during their marriage.
While reports previously surfacing on royal insiders’ fears that Prince William and Kate’s popularity will overshadow King Charles and Queen Camilla – one expert claimed the monarch has given them his blessing to do so. Princess Diana’s overwhelming popularity was said to have put a huge strain on her marriage with Charles. The then prince was thought to have grown increasingly jealous in the early days of their union, as crowds would shout to talk to Diana instead of the future king.
Diana confirmed his jealousy in her controversial Panorama interview in 1995. She told viewers: “The pressure on us both as a couple with the media was phenomenal, and misunderstood by a great many people. We’d be going round Australia, for instance, and all you could hear was, ‘Oh, she’s on the other side.’
“Now, if you’re a man like my husband, a proud man, you mind about that if you hear it every day for four weeks. And you feel low about it, instead of feeling happy and sharing it.” Claiming it caused “a lot of jealousy”, she added: “A great deal of complicated situations arose because of that.”
An expert has since speculated that the new Princess of Wales had upstaged Charles and now-wife Queen Camilla. Kate’s surprise appearance at the Chelsea Flower Show last year was said to have caused far more of a buzz than when he and Camilla visited hours later. But royal expert Robert Jobson has explained that Kate has her father-in-law’s blessing to “steal the limelight” – and it’s down to him now having the top job.
Writing for MailOnline, he explained: “Whilst it is Charles’ head that wears the Crown, it is William, Catherine and their children that will steal the limelight. They are bound to. And it is right. This time, it will be with Charles’s blessing – for he knows for monarchy to survive it must be relevant to the younger generation.”
William and Kate are known to share updates frequently on their social media channels, more notably their Twitter and Instagram accounts. One of the biggest changes is the addition of slick behind-the-scenes videos, with several posted over King Charles’ Coronation weekend. One, which was posted to their YouTube channel, even gave a sneak peek inside their Kensington Palace home, getting ready to attend the historic event. But while the updates may be a delight for fans, there is reportedly some trepidation within those working for the royal household on whether it is the best way to promote the monarchy.
