Charles & Anne's Toxic 49-Year Feud!
Woman's Day Australia|April 22 2019

Camilla is causing tension – over a man she and Anne fought over years ago.

Charles & Anne's Toxic 49-Year Feud!

It is one of the worst-kept secrets in close royal circles that Prince Charles and his sister Anne, Princess Royal, can barely stand each other, and now the reason for their 49-year feud can finally be revealed.

While the siblings spend time together carrying out their royal duties, palace insiders tell Woman’s Day that simmering beneath the false pleasantries is a longstanding feud neither party will let lie.

TEARING FAMILY APART

The rift now even threatens to break the royal family completely apart as relations between Charles and Anne hit an all-time low – thanks to crafty Camilla’s determination to drive an even bigger wedge between them.

“Charles and Anne are always civil with each other, especially when they’re around the Queen or in public, but the reality is they’re not close. There have been whispers about their ongoing feud for many years now,” our insider explains.

Charles, 70, and Anne, 68, are like chalk and cheese. Anne is free-spirited and known for her love of martinis and fish and chips, while polar opposite Charles is an avid healthy eater and has a kooky obsession with having his shoelaces ironed.

“Charles is a total stickler for the rules, while Anne has always been a bit of a rebel. They’re total opposites and they clash because of it,” says the insider, who claims Camilla is at the centre of their new frostiness.
