Prince William would get into ‘terrible fights’ with his stepsister

Prince William and his family define elegance and grace. That's why it’s hard to imagine that such a well-mannered member of the Royal Family can be angry at anyone. However, this myth was debunked by the royal author Katie Nicholl, who mentioned in her book that Prince William and Camilla Parker Bowles’ relatively unknown daughter, Laura Lopes, would fight terribly.

Book of Royal Family secrets

Katie Nicholl, a royal author, wrote a book in 2010 called William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls in which she revealed many secrets of the Royal Family. One of them was how Prince William and Laura Lopes, Camilla Parker Bowles’ daughter, despised each other, so much so that they would engage in terrible fights. According to Express, Katie mentions in her book:

William and Laura used to have terrible fights over who was to blame for their broken homes. Laura was not having any of it. She would take a hard line and fire back at William 'your father has ruined my life.

Apparently, the now step-siblings were having a hard time accepting their parents’ marriage and were blaming each other. This being the reason for conflicts made them blame the other respective parent for the messy situation.

Who is Laura Lopes?

Camilla Parker Bowles, the future queen’s consort and the Duchess of Cornwall, has two children from her previous marriage. Laura Lopes, 44, is the younger of two children and has an older brother, Tom Parker Bowles, 47. They are relatively not well known and keep their lives private.

Laura got married to a former Calvin Klein model, Harry Lopes, in 2006 and has 3 children so far. Although now, the issues between Prince William and Laura have obviously been mended, earlier in their relationship they had a frosty attitude toward each other. Katie mentions in her book:

To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mummy but she was the 'other woman' and she was there and taking daddy's time.
