For some reason I’m oddly fascinated by these royal-adjacent people who aren’t usually in the spotlight. I always want them to tell me everything. Right? Like I know they'll never talk but it'd be so interesting to hear about Charles/Camilla and the royal family from the perspective of her two kids.

That’s a really nice, much more laid back picture than normal. I like it.

Adorable photo of Charlotte! I've always thought she was the very image of the Queen. Is it me or does the front of her hairline look photo shopped? It's like the hair is blurred out or something.

She definitely looks more like Kate. I love it.

I think she’s 100% Will’s face, just with Kate’s hair.

So Camilla has never invited her kids over for any holiday or said “Hey, I want you to meet my kids” while at any wedding?” I know her kids were at the weddings, but I guess she didn’t introduce them? And their protocols are pretty weird- I get why they don’t want a bunch of in-laws extended families at private things, but the things about her always rushing away from Sandringham Christmas to see her family always makes me kinda sad. I don't know my sister's grandparents on her dad's side. 🤷🏽♀️ I know some of her cousins, but I don't remember ever meeting her dad or his siblings either!?! Also, we don't know the relationships or what was agreed to for them to get married. I don't think M&H situation is the only one that has clear and defined limits. I do hope when Charles is King, they are invited to Sandringham. That would suck to always have to be second to the Royal family! I would have issues. Her step children and step grandchildren always get her first for holidays. Always take priority. I'd be like, "But... but she's my mom too!" And I know they are older, but still she has grandchildren on their side. Those kids may want to have pictures with their step granddad, the King.

I don’t think it’s a you thing; it’s a Will is a hypocrite thing. It’s making me more mad the more I think about it. You’re standing up to online bullying, Will? For soccer players you have no relation to?? Really!?!? the difference is that the FA is his job so he has to make a show of caring. Recent personal history shows he doesn’t actually care at all.

I definitely think Charlotte looks a lot like William (and Diana as a kid) but also resembles Margaret's daughter as a child.

Random interview with Camilla’s 46yo son: -He doesn’t know if she’ll be called “queen consort” when Charles is king (there is speculation that Charles will go back on the 2005 statement that they intend her to be “Princess consort”) -The Crown is “beautifully acted and shot, but bollocks” (don’t blame him for that, how could he say differently?) -his girlfriend who was 42 died about a month ago from cancer. He’s close to the royals but did not attend Philip’s funeral, but watched it and cried. "I really blubbed during the Last Post," he said about watching the funeral from his home in London. "I didn't know Prince Philip at all but it was all very moving. The clear blue sky, the music… We've lost so many due to Covid it also felt like a chance to mourn that loss too." people.com/royals/camilla-duchess-of-cornwall-son-does-not-know-if-she-will-be-queen/He’s close to the royals but didn’t know Philip at all. IDK. The idea of being in a family where my own children aren’t welcome. I can’t say I don’t side eye being ok with that.

I do love that Will and Kate seem to be legit great parents. I think we can all agree it's the most likable, redeemable thing about them. Those kids look happy, and comfortable, and I know that had to be hard work.
At the end of the day, it takes generations to break bad familial habits.
K&W are breaking the stiff, shitty parenting. They are allowing the press to see them as loving and casual with one another.
Hopefully their kids will take the lesson of seeing their dad lose his brother and say "I don't want to lose my sibling" and make better choices when they are adults. Forge relationships with their cousins.
And so on.

She comes from a middle class upbringing and is trying to replicate that type of family life the best she can as a royal.

(Yes I know we're in a new month) But Kate's parents are different! He's a child to the "other woman," not the one they had hoped for for Charles! If I remember correctly, the Spencers were invited to things because of status, and because Diana. I think the optics would be different for Camilla's family even after.

I thought the Middletons had never been there for Christmas and it is one reason people were so up in arms about the reports of Doria being invited (you know, the reason that was more acceptable than racism). I think they stay at Amner Hall some Christmases so they can be together between the family events.
