Camilla challenged by Princess Anne

Queen Camilla was allegedly confronted by Princess Anne over her new title at a tense Coronation dinner with other members of the Royal Family.

The Princess Royal is alleged to have told her sister-in-law that her title is Queen Consort and not Queen, according to Princess Diana’s dressmaker, David Emanuel.

He claimed that the topic of Camilla’s new title is “highly charged” and that “a lot of people” are “unhappy” that she will be referred to as Queen rather than Queen Consort.

The King’s wife was reportedly confronted by Anne as the designer said the “whole situation” is “very difficult” amid claims that not everyone accepts Camilla’s new title.

Speaking to Dan Wootton on GB News, Mr Emanuel, who designed Princess Diana’s wedding dress in 1981, said: “I heard that there was a Coronation dinner with which obviously the King and Camila were there, and apparently the Princess Royal said, ‘You’re not Queen, you’re the Queen’s consort’.”

He added: “I understood from Her Majesty the Queen, she said she should be Queen Consort. Now suddenly she’s now going to be Queen.

“And it’s very difficult because a lot of people have told me they were unhappy about it.”

During the Coronation, Princess Anne will feature in the procession as the prestigious “Gold-Stick-in-Waiting”, a position historically handed to a person entrusted with the personal safety of the sovereign.

As a “personal aide-de-camp” to His Majesty, Anne will travel on horseback behind the new King and Queen after they are crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

As Charles and Camilla ride in the Gold State Coach back to Buckingham Palace, Anne will lead the larger procession featuring 6,000 armed services personnel.

The privilege dates back to the 15th century in Tudor times, when two officers – a Gold Stick and a Silver Stick, were placed close to the sovereign to protect him or her from danger.

One of the guests at the Coronation is Camilla’s former husband Andrew Parker Bowles, who was married to her for 22 years from 1973 to 1995.

Friends of the 83-year-old said he is “a bit of a rogue” and “very naughty with women”, according to a source who spoke to The Times.

48,000 SIGNATURES SO FAR Calls mount to strip Prince Harry of award honouring military legend Pat Tillman, positioning the Sussexes two of the ‘most unpopular figures in the US’

The Sussexes Face Backlash After ESPN Honors Prince Harry

In a recent turn of events, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have found themselves at the center of controversy in the United States. ESPN’s decision to award Prince Harry the prestigious Pat Tillman Award has sparked outrage, particularly from the mother of the late US war hero, Pat Tillman.

The Background

Pat Tillman, an NFL star, tragically lost his life in action after joining the US military following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. His legacy is honored through the Pat Tillman Award, which recognizes individuals with a strong connection to sports and a commitment to serving others.

Mary Tillman’s Critique

Mary Tillman, Pat Tillman’s mother, expressed her disapproval of ESPN’s choice to honor Prince Harry. She believes that the award should have gone to someone who truly embodies the spirit of sacrifice and duty. Her sentiments are echoed by many Americans who feel that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s actions do not align with the values they hold dear.

Unpopularity in the US

Royal commentator Nile Gardiner weighed in on the situation, labeling Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as “two of the most unpopular figures in the US today.” Their perceived narcissism and divisive behavior have not endeared them to the American public, especially those who hold the Royal Family in high regard.

Speaking to GB News on Tuesday, royal commentator Nile Gardiner said the renegade prince and his wife Meghan Markle are “two of the most unpopular figures in the US today”.

“Harry and Meghan’s narcissism does not go down very well in the United States and America,” he said.

“Most American people really love the Royal Family, okay. They do not look kindly upon Harry and Meghan trashing them in the United States and does not go down very well.

“They’re very divisive figures, and this award is very, very controversial. There’s a huge backlash in the United States, and it’s an illustration of just how unpopular Harry and Meghan are on both sides of the Atlantic.”

The Backlash

An online petition urging ESPN to reconsider its decision has garnered over 48,000 signatures. Commenters on the petition expressed outrage, drawing a sharp contrast between Pat Tillman’s selfless sacrifice for duty and country and Prince Harry’s departure from royal responsibilities. Some even accused Prince Harry of prioritizing a “Hollywood dream” over his duty.

Many Americans quickly took to the comments section of the petition to voice their outrage, with one person contrasting the differences between Mr Tillman and the Duke’s Army service.

“Pat Tillman sacrificed his life for duty and country! Harry walked away from duty and country & spit on his commander in chief, country, duty & family on his way out,” they said.

“All for a Hollywood dream! I’m appalled as an American that you would give him this award. It now means nothing!

“I am shocked as to why they would select such a controversial and divisive individual to receive the award,” she said.

ESPN’s Defense

ESPN, however, stands by its decision. The network cites Prince Harry’s work with the Invictus Games Foundation, an organization that promotes healing through sports for military service members and veterans worldwide. Despite the controversy, ESPN believes that honoring Prince Harry’s contributions to this cause is worthwhile.

The Invictus Games

Prince Harry’s involvement in launching the Invictus Games has been widely praised. These multi-sport, Paralympic-style games provide a platform for wounded or injured servicemen and veterans to compete and inspire others. For Prince Harry, receiving the Pat Tillman Award is a testament to the entire service community.

In conclusion, while opinions remain divided, ESPN’s decision to honor Prince Harry underscores the complexity of balancing fame, duty, and service. Whether one agrees or disagrees, the Pat Tillman Award continues to evoke passionate responses on both sides of the Atlantic.
