Camilla’s Alleged Nicknames for Diana Revealed
Queen Camilla’s relationship with the royal family has been marked by controversy for decades, stemming from her affair with King Charles III during his marriage to Princess Diana. Now, alleged crude nicknames Camilla used for the late princess have come to light, adding another layer to this complex history.
The troubled marriage of Diana and Charles was largely overshadowed by his affair with Camilla. Diana famously stated that “three” people were in her marriage, openly expressing her disdain for Camilla. While Camilla rarely spoke negatively about Diana publicly, a royal expert claims she did so privately.
The Charles-Diana-Camilla love triangle is well-known among royal followers. Charles and Camilla became friends in 1970, but she married Andrew Parker Bowles four years before Charles met Diana. Despite marrying Diana in 1981, Charles remained close to Camilla, and rumors of their continued affair circulated during his increasingly toxic marriage to Diana.
A leaked phone call in 1993, after Charles and Diana’s separation, confirmed their romantic involvement during their respective marriages. The animosity between Diana and Camilla was evident, with reports suggesting they held deep dislike for each other. Now, details of their feud have resurfaced.
Royal biographer Tom Bower claims Camilla frequently disparaged Diana during her affair with Charles. According to Bower’s reporting, Camilla’s friends were aware of her negative feelings towards Diana.
Early in Charles and Diana’s marriage, Camilla allegedly called Diana a “mouse,” perhaps referring to her perceived quiet demeanor. Later, this nickname allegedly evolved into the more derogatory “mad cow.”
Bower also alleges Camilla displayed unflattering cartoons of Diana in her private home and claims Diana’s anger was reciprocated by Camilla.
Charles and Camilla’s 2005 marriage, eight years after Diana’s death, drew significant public scrutiny. Despite this, Camilla continues to fulfill her duties as Queen Consort.
