The House of Windsor is
in intensive care
, with the king suffering from cancer, Kate, the next queen and princess of Wales, with an unspecified abdominal operation that has left her “out of combat” until at least June, and William , her husband and future king, taking care of royal functions and the couple's three children, whom she takes to and from school.
It was Camilla,
the unexpected queen
and wife of King Charles, who
took the reins
when the working Royal Family fell ill.
Since February 5,
she has shouldered the protocol responsibilities
and taking care of her husband, who is undergoing unspecified treatment for an unspecified cancer.
a tired queen
Unexpectedly this week
she officially “tired” and took a vacation in the sun,
with the permission of her sick husband, to relax.
Those who know her know that
Camila is very sociable but lazy.
It seems that
the reality is different.
In this very special Royal Family, it has been Prince William, future king, who
has complained about the prominence of his stepmother
to the detriment of her role, the heir and future king.
He waits for a call to fill his role, which does not come.
The historical jealousy of the heir
When Princess Diana was alive, she always complained about
the jealousy
that her public image produced in the then Prince of Wales, today King Charles III.
She was upset that she
won the pages of the tabloid newspapers
, that she was the most popular and that her activities were relegated.
The People Princess was
much more popular than Him. The future king felt ostracized.

When Harry and Meghan started growing up,
Charles had the same attitude
.
His private secretaries insisted on distributing the roles so that they did not overshadow his father.
William and Harry's private secretaries ceased to be so over time.
He had one each.
The brothers and Kate,
the famous “Fabs”
, as they were called in memory of The Beatles,
divorced in the media and emotionally.
When Meghan and Harry got married,
only the queen beat them in popularity
.
A status that infuriated the rest of the Royal Family, causing them to be ostracized.
The courtiers ignored them on the agenda and ignored the importance of their actions.

Megxit

And the popular Duke and Duchess of Sussex
went into self-exile to Canada and then to the
United States.

Harry accused his stepmother Camilla of increasing his popularity and cleaning up his image as a lover by leaking details of his life to the tabloids.
The drama that followed continued until now, with the Royal Family
in danger of extinction and them accused of torpedoing her with her biography and documentaries of her on Netflix.
Camilla's uncomfortable protagonism
Now it is the prominence of Camilla, who never dreamed of being queen, as the lover of the current king, which bothers William, the future king.
He retired to care for his wife, Kate, and his children.
But
he returned when the media pressure became unbearable
because he refuses to break privacy, even though they are two public figures, and report more about the state of health of the future queen.
Has William been bothered by the fact that King Charles is relying on Queen Camilla to fill in for him while he recovers from cancer?
Do you feel it as a humiliation? Was that the reason for his disappearance at the ceremony of his stepfather, King Constantine, 45 minutes before it began, in another of his classic fits of rage?
Nobody answers.

As well as presenting the Royal Maundy, Queen Camilla will take center stage at Commonwealth Day events on Monday.
Tentative plans have been made for her to represent the king at the Chelsea Flower Show, D-Day 80th anniversary commemorations, Garter Day, Royal Ascot and Trooping the Colour.
Like a queen .
They don't call William
William has apparently indicated his willingness to help, but has not yet been called.
The long tradition of monarchs distrusting their heirs continues.
Charles distrusts William
.
The relationship was never fluid.
If it improved it was because of the crisis with Harry but not for other reasons.
For years William spent Christmas with the Middletons and not his father in Sandringham.
It was Queen Elizabeth who ordered the protocol bond and grandfather Philippe.

This week
Camilla went to rest “in the sun”.
She was exhausted, according to her spokesperson, and she also wanted to spend time with her husband and her children privately.
.
In the sun on a private plane
Her Majesty has cleared her schedule and departed on a foreign holiday on a private flight, while she will also be making time for family in the coming weeks.
Camilla, 76, has been taking on an extra burden since King Charles' shock diagnosis last month, which saw him step away from his public duties.
She has completed 13 official engagements
since Charles' condition came to light, continuing with her own plans and appearing alone at events intended for both the King and Queen.
This included an engagement on Valentine's Day, when Camilla went alone to Grosvenor House in London for an event celebrating Shakespeare, of whom the King, 75, is a lifelong fan.
Now he has given the space to William, Edward and Sophie,
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and
Anne
, Princess Royal, who is the one who never stops, even if her activities do not appear in the newspapers.
The king and a gesture to Harry
King Charles continues with his activities and lives between Windsor Palace and Clarence House on the days he receives treatment and at Sandringham.
He received Chancellor of Finance Jeremy Hunt in his office at Buckingham Palace before he presented the budget to the House of Commons.
He held a digital audience with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
And this Thursday he received the High Commissioner of Jamaica, Alexander William.

The difference with the first weeks is that the decision is to show an active king and not paralyzed by the disease.
The British government took a positive step towards Prince Harry, until now stigmatized by the Royals.
They will promote his Invictus games in Britain
, which he created for war wounded and is his most successful project globally.
The veterans minister announced this Thursday.
Harry will return to Britain
in May
to celebrate the launch of Invictus' 10th anniversary with a mass at St Paul's Cathedral.
Given these health circumstances of the Royals, it could be seen as a gesture towards family reconciliation.
Each step of the Royal Family must be read as in
a manual of social anthropology.
