Queen Camilla\u2019s very \u201cmischievous\u201d reaction to the Princess of Wales\u2019 cancer update video last year has been revealed.<\/p>\n

In his new book, The Windsor Legacy: A Royal Dynasty of Secrets, Scandal and Survival, royal author Robert Jobson lifts the lid on what was said behind Palace doors after Kate shared an emotional message<\/a> \u2013 spoken over a series of glossy, highly-stylised family videos \u2013 in September to confirm she had completed chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

As Jobson explained to news.com.au<\/a>, the \u201cvery funny\u201d Queen joked to friends that it was \u201clike a shampoo commercial\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very slow motion, lots of hair flicking \u2026 so she joked that it was like a shampoo commercial. But I don\u2019t think it was meant in any meanness, it was a little joke,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The veteran royal author and journalist went on to insist that Camilla and Kate \u201cget on fine\u201d, and that the Princess of Wales wouldn\u2019t have \u201cworried about that one bit\u201d.<\/p>\n

King\u2019s \u2018tricky\u2019 relationship with William<\/p>\n

On the more serious side, Jobson also delved into the complicated dynamics of the Windsor men in recent years, claiming that the King and Prince William\u2019s relationship is occasionally \u201ctricky\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey get along fine, but they both have roles to play \u2026 certainly Charles had a better, closer relationship with Harry before all the issues happened,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut at the end of the day, as with any heir, it\u2019s going to be a more tricky relationship because it has more meaning \u2013 ultimately, when the King passes, William will be the monarch and will have his own ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years, the Prince of Wales has spoken on a few occasions about his plans for the future of the monarchy, including during his trip to South Africa last year, and more recently on Eugene Levy\u2019s <\/a>The Reluctant Traveller<\/a> program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In particular, William has regularly referenced his desire for \u201cchange\u201d, and ensuring the modern monarchy is fit for purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, when you start hearing those ideas publicly, you talk about \u2018royalty with a small R\u2019, et cetera, in a way that can undermine the position of the consistent model,\u201d Jobson pointed out. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo [William and the King] have a working relationship and a loving relationship, but it\u2019s not necessarily as deferential as Charles\u2019 was with the [late] Queen. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think they have differences of opinion over certain things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still \u2018undoubtedly strained\u2019 between the King and Harry<\/p>\n

When it comes to the King and Harry<\/a>, as most people know given the very public way the rift has unfolded, things are \u201cundoubtedly strained\u201d, with the Duke of Sussex\u2019s memoir, Spare, creating a \u201chuge stain\u201d on their relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, because of what\u2019s happening with the battle between [William and Harry], and all the things that have been said by Harry which have undermined the brand of the monarchy, the damage has been done,\u201d Jobson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that it has impacted on Charles\u2019 reign, which in many ways has been dominated by this sense of separation, sense of a monarchy which is divided.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Camilla\u2019s very \u201cmischievous\u201d reaction to the Princess of Wales\u2019 cancer update video last year has been revealed.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":66479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9489,34635,34636,34641,34639,34646,34640,5886,34645,4043,9,24,34634,63,9492,34642,34632,122,124,123,34638,34647,34637,34633,34649,10857,34643,34648,5878,34644],"class_list":["post-66478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-africa","tag-cancer-update-video","tag-closer-relationship","tag-diana","tag-duke-of-cambridge","tag-emotional-video","tag-eugene-levy","tag-europe","tag-highly-stylised-family-videos","tag-london","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-northern-europe","tag-nyc","tag-prince-william","tag-princess-of-wales","tag-private-reaction","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-robert-jobson","tag-royal-author","tag-secret-reaction","tag-shampoo-commercial","tag-slow-motion","tag-south-africa","tag-southern-africa","tag-tricky-relstionship","tag-united-kingdom","tag-veteran-royal-author"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66478","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=66478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
