Kate & Camilla​​​​​​​ Showdown At The​​​​​​​ Palace

Diana is shaping the future of the monarchy from beyond the grave.

Before her tragic death 20 years ago, Princess Diana made it clear that she thought her son William should leapfrog to the throne, bypassing Prince Charles. And now it seems the Queen agrees with her!

Her Majesty has let it be known that she is planning to abdicate in all but name in four years when she reaches 95, and she wants William and Kate to follow in her footsteps, leaving the Prince of Wales and his second wife Camilla out in the cold.

The extraordinary plan, which breaks with all previous thinking, is now being openly discussed in royal circles, and a furious Camilla is livid that William could potentially take the throne – and she’s pointing the finger of blame firmly at poor Kate.

‘Everything is up in the air because the Queen and Prince Philip have lived to such a ripe old age,’ a senior courtier told New Idea.
