Queen Consort Camilla and Princess Anne had a rocky past, claims royal biographer

Queen Consort Camilla and Princess Anne have shared a similar interest in men in the past. With Princess Anne being in a romantic relationship with Queen Consort’s ex-husband, there had been some sort of trouble in that area.

Not ‘very well’ together

Royal Author Angela Levin recently released her new book – Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort. According to her, the relationship between Princess Anne and Queen Consort has hugely improved over the years and the two didn’t ‘get on very well’ in the past.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, Angela Levin confirmed:

She didn't get on particularly well, or at all, with Diana, but she didn't get on with Camilla either. Anne, of course, went out with Andrew Parker Bowles who married Camilla, so they had similar tastes there.

However, she added:

But over time they got close, she sees now how hard Camilla has worked, she sees how much happier and stronger and more accessible Charles is and they now get on very well.

As such, the two may seem to share a deep love for dogs and horses, but they had a rocky start.

Things are better now!

Emphasising that they both have left their troubles behind, she also noted a recent detail during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral that showed their bond has only strengthened over time. Angela suggested:

Camilla sat next to Anne at the funeral, and I am quite sure they could have asked for different places had they wanted to, they were there obviously supporting each other.
They have got a lot in common, they both love horses, they both love dogs, they both care about the monarchy and they are of similar age.
It's very interesting how relationships change, and this is one which really changed for the better.
