Camilla's Actions Spark Royal Protocol Debate

Camilla's Protocol-Breaking Behavior Sparks Debate: A Comparison with Prince Philip LONDON, May 28, 2025 — A recent TikTok video has ignited discussion about Queen Camilla's conduct in royal appearances. The video, created by royalredpanda0, highlights several instances where Camilla appears to disregard royal protocol, often walking ahead of King Charles and making him wait. The video contrasts this with the traditional and supportive behavior of the late Prince Philip. One example cited shows Camilla repeatedly attempting to walk in front of Charles during a Centennial Celebration at the Canadian Pavilion. To maintain order, Charles was observed taking two steps at a time down the stairs. The video also points to instances where Camilla appears to prioritize her own interests, such as reportedly insisting that Kate's working-class parents enter the palace through the servants' entrance. "It's clear she puts her own interests first," states the video's narrator. The video further notes Camilla's appropriation of Diana's jewelry and clothing after marrying into the royal family. While some argue Camilla's actions reflect a pursuit of equality, the video challenges this perspective, concluding with the question: "Do you think Camilla has gone too far?" The video's popularity, with over 1800 views in just a few hours, demonstrates the public's interest in this topic. The contrasting styles of Camilla and Prince Philip offer a compelling narrative, prompting further examination of royal protocol and modern expectations.
