Prince William will never let Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis call Camilla, the Queen Consort, 'Grandmother', a new book has claimed.
- Prince William will reportedly not let his step-mother, Camilla, the Queen Consort, ever become a ‘step-grandmother’ to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis
- The claims were reported in a new book, written by royal author Angela Levin

Prince William is rumoured to feel uncomfortable with his step-mother Camilla, the Queen Consort, being called a ‘step-grandmother’ to the three young children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, that he shares with his wife, Kate Middleton.
In an excerpt of her new book, Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort, which is available for pre-order on Amazon, royal author Angela Levin has bought light to the claims. She writes, "William has made it clear that Camilla is the wife of his father, but not a step-grandmother to his children.”
What exactly is fuelling the feelings held by Prince William is not made clear in the short extracts of the book which are currently available, but guessing at the cause is not so difficult a task.
The book adds that William's children currently have “two grandfathers but only one grandmother.” Those two grandfathers being Kate's father and William's father, and the one grandmother being Kate's mother.
Exploring the relationship between Camilla and Prince William, as well as the one she holds with Prince Harry, Levin explains, “William and Harry were 23 and 20 respectively when Camilla officially became their step-mother in 2005.
"She was more of a friendly grown-up they saw occasionally at royal gatherings. She tried to be encouraging rather than influential.”
The book also details how the Queen Consort approached both Prince William and Harry to lay out her role in their families. Levin claims, “Nor has she tried to take over any responsibility as a step-grandmother to the [Prince and Princess of Wales'] children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, especially as Catherine's parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, are so close [with them].”
