Camilla ‘very upset’ after Meghan Markle broke promise not to overshadow her on big day

dailystar.co.uk:

Camilla Parker-Bowles was left feeling “very upset” after Meghan Markle broke her promise not to overshadow her during a landmark speech, an insider has claimed.

The Duchess of Cornwall has long been an advocate for preventing domestic and sexual violence and breaking the stigma surrounding the issue.

In 2020 she gave a speech on the issue to mark the 10th anniversary of the Women of the World Festival in London. However, she was reported to have been left “very upset” after photos of the Duchess of Sussex visiting the National Theatre were released as she gave the speech, the Daily Mirror reports.

One well-placed insider said at the time: “Camilla’s work is very important to her and her decision to highlight the scourge of domestic violence at the 10th ­anniversary of Women of the World was a carefully thought-out plan. “Over the last four years, she has worked tirelessly, mostly behind the scenes but to great effect, to use her ­platform and personal experiences to highlight the issue and help sufferers. "Of course, it was known Harry and Meghan would be doing engagements this week, some privately, but everyone was in agreement that Camilla’s speech should take precedence. ­Unfortunately, some people had other ideas.” The move came in the final weeks of Meghan and Harry's lives as working members of the Royal Family, before they left the UK and carved out a new life for their family in California.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up for one of our newsletters here. Meanwhile, earlier this week, Camilla said it will be a “great honour” to become Queen Consort and believes the position will help her to further highlight the causes she supports.
