In a stunning power move, Prince William and Princess Anne have collaborated to issue a formal ban on Queen Camilla from participating in royal duties at key royal palaces, including Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
This dramatic decision comes after escalating tensions within the royal family, especially surrounding Camilla’s conflicts with key figures like Catherine, Princess of Wales, and the perceived undermining of the monarchy’s traditional values.
The ban was formalized in a secret document known as the Royal Conduct Protocol (RCP20251), signed by William at Kensington Palace. It permanently restricts Camilla from attending major royal events such as Trooping the Colour, state visits, privy council receptions, and ceremonial jubilees. While she may still attend private family gatherings as the sovereign’s spouse, her official public role has been severely curtailed.
Princess Anne has been a steadfast ally of William in this endeavor, supporting the decision as a necessary recalibration rather than a punishment. The move reflects a broader royal reset, passing authority quietly from the older generation to William and his immediate family without overt confrontation.
Palace insiders indicate this decision was driven by Camilla’s controversial conduct in recent months, including public criticisms of Catherine and incidents that fractured family unity. Following the ban, Camilla’s official calendar was cleared, and her name was removed from all planned events and protocols.
