Queen Camilla stands at the forefront of an “anti-York faction” within the Royal Family, according to a source.<\/p>\n

A royal insider stated that the King’s wife played a pivotal role in urging her husband to take action against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the aftermath of the Epstein scandal.<\/p>\n

The source told the Mail regarding the Queen’s position on Andrew: “She took a back seat on the scandal for quite a while out of deference to the King’s familial loyalties and to his health.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut as the King’s health has improved, she was instrumental in pushing him to act.”<\/p>\n

Evidence of potential tensions surfaced recently when Queen Camilla’s name was notably absent from a congratulatory message issued by King Charles’s office when announcing Princess Eugenie\u2019s pregnancy.<\/p>\n

The source added that Princess Eugenie chose to reveal her pregnancy to King Charles through an Easter card paired with a thoughtfully composed letter.<\/p>\n

The decision to inform her uncle in this manner came after Zara Tindall, her cousin and one of only a handful of people aware of the news, encouraged her to reach out to the monarch directly.<\/p>\n

Eugenie and her husband Jack had been weighing up whether to announce the news through the media independently, without Palace involvement.<\/p>\n

However, the couple found themselves pleasantly surprised by the reaction they received.<\/p>\n

“She and Jack were quite surprised by the warmth of the Palace response,” a well-placed source told the Mail.<\/p>\n

The King subsequently reached out personally and instructed officials to issue a formal announcement.<\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace confirmed the pregnancy through a social media post on the official Royal Family account last week.<\/p>\n

The statement said: \u201cHer Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting their third child together, due this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAugust (aged 5) and Ernest (aged 2) are also very excited to have another sibling join the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis Majesty The King has been informed and is delighted with the news.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Camilla stands at the forefront of an “anti-York faction” within the Royal Family, according to a source.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[1428,9,24,63,26000,1433,122,124,123,6665],"class_list":["post-227118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-king-charles","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-princess-eugenie","tag-queen-camilla","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-royal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
