Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla are engaged in a silent but nasty clash with Carole and Michael Middleton over their domineering approach to their shared grandchildren.
According to royal insiders, the Prince of Wales is not happy that Kate Middleton’s parents – also the grandparents of George, 6, Charlotte, 5, and 2-year-old Louis – have been ‘edging’ him out and is furious that he doesn’t spend as much time with them.
A source close to the royal family told the Daily Mail: “Charles feels very much that the Middletons get more than their fair share of time with George, Charlotte [and Louis]. In comparison, he sees them very little and he bears a bit of a grudge about that.”
Insiders also say Charles claims Carole has a “rather grandiose presence” in the palace when she spends time with her grandchildren and is “possessive” over Kate, William and the kids.
In fact, the Battle Royal over the little princes and princess started not long after Prince George was born in 2013, when Prince Charles apparently grumbled: “They never let me see my grandson.”
Prince George’s 3rd birthday celebrations were even organised by the Middletons, who took over preparations when the palace would ordinarily be heavily involved.
