Royal author Tom Bower claimed that Kate, Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla experienced some “tension” recently.
He opined that Kate and William could have been “angry” as they didn’t curtsy to Camilla at the Coronation, a moment that many fans noticed during the ceremony.
The expert claimed: “If you look at the Coronation footage, as the King and Queen leave the thrones and head for the exit of Westminster Abbey, you’ll see that everyone bows and curtsies to the King and no one moves a limb, a muscle, when Camilla passes. And that’s because they were angry with her. No one moves.
“Kate and William were angry too. That anger went right through that small part of the congregation by the throne, at the centre of Westminster Abbey.”
Body language expert Darren Stanton, however, opined that the Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla share “a strong friendship”.

He suggested: “Kate is very much accepted by all the members of the Royal Family, especially Camilla, with whom she has a strong friendship, and Kate has a great deal of respect for her mother-in-law.”
The pair also have a “deep connection” that they have built over many years now, the expert claimed.
Darren added: “In terms of their development, it’s taken quite a few years for Kate and Camilla to grow a deep level of rapport.
“In the early years, Kate wasn’t a particularly confident person, which could have led to some disjointed and awkward moments with Camilla.
“However, as the years have gone on, Kate and Camilla have both developed an inner confidence within themselves.
“They’ve also likely spent a lot of time together privately, which has enabled them to develop a deeper connection.”
Camilla and Kate sometimes attend events together and the body language guru claimed that both women tend to mirror each other.
Darren commented that Kate is now “very much an extension of Camilla,” and predicted that as her role of monarch approaches, she will “match and mirror” Camilla’s poses and “confident gestures” even more.
“I’ve noticed that the pair have similar aspects of body language, including posture and the way they walk. They’re both quite tactile at times, with Kate often touching Camilla whilst sharing a joke.
“At events, their facial expressions also appear to be matching and mirroring, which denotes a deep level of trust and rapport. Overall, the pair show genuine smiles and laughter whilst out together.
“They appear to be extremely comfortable around each other, whereas there was some initial awkwardness in body language during the early years,” he added.
