Queen Camilla was reportedly escorted out of a high-profile event after allegedly publicly bullying one of the most respected figures in royal circles: Lady Susan Hussey, the long-serving lady-in-waiting and Prince William’s godmother.
The dramatic incident allegedly took place during an exclusive charity gala held at a private royal estate last week. Sources claim tensions were running high between Camilla and Lady Susan — both strong personalities in a tightly controlled palace hierarchy — but few expected the night to spiral into a public spectacle.
According to eyewitnesses, the confrontation began when Lady Susan, 89, made a quiet comment during dinner about “maintaining royal traditions.” Camilla, reportedly already in a foul mood, allegedly responded with a biting remark about “being stuck in the past,” which left the room stunned.
“It was absolutely shocking,” said one attendee, who spoke under condition of anonymity. “Camilla raised her voice and seemed to mock Lady Susan’s age and influence. It was uncomfortable — people didn’t know where to look.”
Things reportedly escalated quickly, with Camilla allegedly dismissing Lady Susan’s contributions to the royal family in front of other guests. “She said something along the lines of, ‘Your time has come and gone,’” another insider claimed. “It was unnecessarily cruel.”
The breaking point came when Prince William, who had been seated nearby, reportedly intervened. Witnesses claim the future king stood up and firmly asked for the conversation to stop. “He was clearly trying to defuse the situation,” a source said. “But Camilla wouldn’t let it go.”
In a shocking turn, security was allegedly asked to escort Camilla from the venue, though it remains unclear whether this was at William’s request or pre-arranged by royal handlers.
Palace representatives have refused to comment officially, but the rumor mill inside Buckingham Palace is in overdrive. Some claim the Queen Consort has been increasingly frustrated with her position in the shadow of William and Catherine, while others say old personal tensions with Lady Susan had been simmering for years.
Lady Susan, for her part, has remained composed and dignified. A spokesperson simply said, “Lady Susan prefers not to comment on private matters.”
