Queen Camilla and Princess Catherine seem to be putting their differences aside for a major issue that has been simmering in the Palace for weeks. It is a long-held claim that there has been some bitterness between the current Queen and the future Queen over their positions in the royal family. Kate is far more popular than Camilla, a dynamic that has reportedly caused friction. However, as the Sussexes navigate their return, the two have joined forces to convince King Charles to set "clear boundaries", according to royal expert Andrew Lownie.

The King and Prince William were reportedly aware of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's potential moves concerning Britain well in advance. Lownie told the Daily Mail that this calculated distance "suited their purposes to distance themselves whilst public opinion is tested".

Meanwhile, William and Kate remain concerned that Harry and Meghan might eventually demand a "half-in, half-out" model, despite claims that the Sussexes want nothing to do with official royal life.

"The Queen, who is very close to Kate, has been stiffening the resolve of the King to establish clear boundaries for [Harry and Meghan]," Lownie claimed. "There remains a great deal of family dissension about the way the King has handled the Sussex problem on top of the 'too little, too late' strategy on the disgraced former prince Andrew and his family."
