“Camilla brought twenty Parker Bowles’ to the coronation, and there were four Middletons,” Bower said on Dan Wootton Tonight.
Bower also highlighted that during the Windsor concert the following day, Prince William didn’t mention Queen Camilla, suggesting potential tension.
The expert claimed this dynamic placed King Charles in a precarious position, describing Queen Camilla as “exhausted” and Kate as “behaving like the Queen.”

Bower further alleged, “Nobody moved a muscle” when Queen Camilla left the Abbey.
“Nobody curtsied to Camilla”
“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,” Bower said.
“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 center of Westminster Abbey. And in that moment, it was absolutely noticeable to those people who had been excluded that nobody – let alone Kate – curtsied to Queen Camilla.”
Camilla’s grandchildren played notable roles in the coronation, serving as Pages of Honor. However, royal expert Kinsey Schofield suggested that Camilla may have veered too far from tradition by giving them such significant roles.
“The Royal Family’s value is in their traditions. Traditions and ceremonies that the world envies. When they sway too far from those customs, you will anger and disappoint a significant amount of people that feel like those actions strip away at the mystique,” Schofield said.
Despite the spotlight on Camilla’s grandchildren, Schofield believes they won’t generate much interest among royal fans.
“Camilla’s popularity may have increased, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there will be any interest in her grandchildren,” she said.

“Nepo babies obviously exist, but if you look at the success of Princess Diana’s nieces, Ladies Kitty Spencer, Amelia Spencer, and Eliza Spencer… they all share a striking resemblance to their Aunt Diana, who is universally adored.”
Prominent coronation role for Camilla’s grandchildren
Camilla’s grandchildren played a significant role in the coronation, marking a historic day that royal fans will always remember. The event also brought Camilla’s grandchildren into the intense spotlight of the monarchy.
While Camilla’s family has had ties with the Royal Family for years, it seems that only recently have the two families spent more time together, particularly regarding Charles and Camilla’s grandchildren.
King Charles, like Camilla, has made considerable efforts to build a relationship with his step-grandchildren. Six years ago, Camilla shared details about the bond between her grandchildren and her husband.

“When we are with my husband in Scotland, he reads them Harry Potter,” Camilla said. “And he does all the voices, because he is a brilliant mimic. They sit spellbound. They love it.”
“I love being with them”
Camilla’s grandchildren have attended several significant royal events beyond the coronation. For instance, Gus, Louis, and Eliza—who was the youngest bridesmaid at Prince William and Princess Kate’s 2011 wedding—joined the royal family for Christmas at Sandringham last year.
While Eliza had her moment to shine at William and Kate’s wedding, it was her younger twin brothers who took center stage at the coronation, participating in a historic event.
Speaking about her grandchildren previously, she shared, “I love being with them, eating together, going to see a film or a play. They’re great enthusiasts. And it’s always nice to be in touch with that generation because it keeps you abreast of young people’s feelings and ideas.”
