Queen Camilla ‘is hitting the bottle hard & is usually three sheets to the wind’

Before everyone yells at me for using a trashy tabloid for this story, just know that I find this faux-reporting more realistic than the narratives pushed by Queen Camilla’s “friends” in the British media. Camilla’s “friends” always insist that she doesn’t get involved in King Charles’s relationships with his sons (lies) and that she’s the very picture of regal grace and sobriety (lmao). When really, Camilla exists in the zeitgeist as a half-in-the-bag interloper, sleazy mistress and someone willing to sell out anyone and everyone for sh-ts and giggles. So, at least one outlet is portraying her that way in 2026! The Globe Magazine (via Yahoo) claims that Camilla has been on a sh-tfaced tear lately, barking orders at King Charles and demanding that he cut all ties to Prince Harry. They also say that Camilla is doing the most to put the Princess of Wales in her place. Time is a flat circle and chaos is a ladder.

Queen Camilla is seizing power in the U.K. as she takes advantage of the cancer-stricken state of monarch husband King Charles — and no one in Britain’s royal household is safe from her reign of terror, sources say.

“Camilla is horrendously controlling of Charles. She often insists he stay in his room and raises merry hell if he tries to get up and assert his independence,” an insider confides. “Of course, her official excuse for this is that he needs rest and she’s doing it for his own good. But everyone knows it’s her way to control him and give herself a platform to assert herself when he’s not there.”

Camilla, who waited decades to marry Charles and wear a crown, took on more responsibilities when her ailing husband had to pare down his busy schedule because of his health. However, sources say the king’s former mistress turned queen now refuses to stop throwing her weight around — even as Charles claims his condition has improved.

“She charges around barking orders, tearing into anyone who doesn’t fall into line and generally causing chaos throughout the palace,” the insider explains. “Her drinking has always been an issue, but lately she’s been taking it up a level. Camilla is hitting the bottle hard and is usually three sheets to the wind by evening. Often, she’ll be knocking it back during the daytime as well. That’s when she tends to be at her most aggressive — overexerting herself and acting like a power-crazed tyrant.”

As Globe also reported, sources say Charles had brokered a deal with heir Prince William — allowing his oldest son to banish younger brother Prince Harry in exchange for allowing his beloved Camilla to maintain a life of lavish luxury and respect after his death. Yet, palace watchers say California-based Harry, 41, now appears to be on the verge of returning to the royal fold after having a reconciliatory tea with his father in September.

Insiders also believe that when William, 43, ascends to the throne, he would have no qualms about casting out his stepmother — whose decades-long affair with Charles contributed to the end of the king’s marriage to the princes’ late mother, Princess Diana — especially because of how Camilla humiliates his wife and future queen, Princess Kate, 44.

“Camilla isn’t afraid to put Kate in her place any chance she gets,” the insider notes. “The way she talks to her can be pretty brutal — looking down her nose and effectively treating her like a second-class commoner or menial servant.”

Meanwhile, sources say Camilla, 78, is keeping a close eye on her husband’s efforts to lure back Harry and his American wife, 44-year-old Meghan Markle, who ceased being working royals in 2020 and put down roots in Montecito, Calif., where they’re raising their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. The insider maintains Camilla won’t forgive the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for their verbal attacks against the royal family and says she’s “working hard” to ensure “losers” Harry and Meghan are not allowed back to the U.K.

“She’s told Charles it’s a terrible idea and is chipping away to get him to rescind the invite,” the insider says. “If they do turn up, she’s vowing to make life as difficult and uncomfortable as possible while they’re in England. But in an ideal world she’ll just put a stop to it altogether. She emphatically believes Meghan and Harry are treacherous, twisted rats who have no place in the royal household.”

As I said, all of this is 100% more believable than “Camilla minds her business, she doesn’t get between Charles and his sons.” We’ve seen, with our own eyes, Camilla shooing away Princess Kate in the middle of a state visit. We’ve seen Camilla pull rank on tiaras. We’ve seen Camilla leak all kinds of bullsh-t about Prince Harry and Meghan as well. Whenever there seems to be mixed messages coming from Buckingham Palace, I always wonder if that’s the product of undercover warfare between Team Camilla and Team Charles within the damn palace. And all of the stuff about her drinking too… *chef’s kiss*.

    Camilla’s been in charge for years even before Diana and Charles got married. Keen should be put in her place. And Scooter. For their talking about Queen Keen and Global Statesman Scooter.

  2. Stef says:

    She’s always been a horrible person with a minimalistic ethical compass. Kinda funny to think she has any moral high ground to look down her nose at anyone, given we have all seen who she really is for several decades.

    She’s a hideous person, inside and out – those types are usually angry drunks because deep down, they know they are terrible people.

    Kaiser – love this “Time is a flat circle and chaos is a ladder”

    I think when KC passes, Camilla will be chucked out within in a week by William and never seen or heard from again.

    • Jais says:

      Yeah one of the most believable parts of this was when they said William will have no qualms to cast her out when he’s king. Ummm, there’s no maybe about it. He will. And she won’t even be queen anymore so why would she be around anyways.

    • Denise says:

      Who wants to bet that the old grifter will write a tell all memoir after KC dies, to keep being relevant and get more money

  6. Tessa says:

    After they got engaged, I remember the spin was she would never interfere with Charles relationship with his children. Didn’t happen that way.

    AHAHAHAHAHAH

  8. Cherry says:

    Look, I’m not a Camilla fangirl or anything, but jeez, isn’t this hit piece laying it on a bit too thick?? ‘takes advantage of the cancer-stricken state of monarch husband’; ‘horrendously controlling’; ‘raises merry hell’; ‘charges around barking orders, tearing into anyone who doesn’t fall into line and generally causing chaos throughout the palace’; ‘hitting the bottle hard’; ‘aggressive — overexerting herself and acting like a power-crazed tyrant’- seriously?? This is a 78-yo lady we’re talking about. I’m perfectly willing to believe that she’s a mean old hag and there’s no love lost between her and her stepsons and their wives. I’m sure there’s a middle ground between “Camilla minds her business, she doesn’t get between Charles and his sons” and this, though.

    • Tessa says:

      If the heir to the throne had pulled his weight and worked, Camilla would not have had to work the time right after Charles got sick. Scooter is half her age and really shirked, I notice there was little complaint about that about Scooter shirking.

    • Jais says:

      Oh yeah, it’s way too thick. But at the same time all the sugary articles about her are way too thick in the opposite direction. The truth is somewhere in the middle and maybe closer to some parts of this. But yeah it’s over the top.

    • Becks1 says:

      its definitely way too much but I think the broad strokes are true – Camilla does put kate in her place (we’ve seen that multiple times), there is no love lost between Camilla and Harry OR william, and I do think Camilla has quite a bit of control behind the scenes – pretty much as much control as charles lets her have. but there is definitely an overreach here.

      Still, I enjoyed this story as its good old fashioned royal gossip. Camilla likes to drink and she likes to pull strings behind the scenes and control Charles while pushing out kate. tell me more!!!

  9. Amy Bee says:

    I think there are bits of truth in this piece. She definitely throws her weight around, looks down her nose at Kate and gets in between Charles’ relationship with his sons. But it lost me with the narrative that Harry wants to return to the royal fold.

    • Tessa says:

      I doubt Harry and Meghan and their children will go back there . And he won’t leave his family to “help” his father and brother. Will would be more out of control when he moves up. imo

  10. Tessa says:

    Camilla can’t preach. She associated with Clarkson (never condemned his article, the vile one he wrote about Meghan). She called Diana “that ridiculous creature” and told Charles to “ignore her”–in a letter that came into public domain. She pretended to be Diana’s “friend” and decidedly was not. Harry’s complaints about her were mild in comparison.

  11. Alex says:

    This kind of article is a typical misogynistic article that excates men, and it is the same principle as those who say that Harry is controlled by Megan. Charles is the king. The tension between him and his sons is determined by his behaviour. He always puts Camilla in front of his sons. Charles is responsible for his relationship with his two sons, as if the relationship between William and Harry was William’s fault, not Kate. I hate that kind of articles that keep making excuses for men. If Charles wants to improve his relationship with Harry, he can do it. He just doesn’t love his sons.

    • Cherry says:

      Amen to this. I commented above that I found the article’s tone a bit exaggerated, but you are putting it more plainly: this is a misogynistic article that puts the blame for a man’s behavior on a woman.

      • Alex says:

        These tabloids love to make women responsible for men’s choices and actions. Whether Camilla played a role is one thing, but Charles’s relationship with his sons depends on his own attitude. Charles is the king; he can improve his relationship with his sons if he wants. He chose Camilla, and he places her in a position more important than his sons or even the royal family. Charles is responsible for all of this. This is the same logic they use to portray Meghan as a villain, Harry as a good man who was manipulated by Meghan into leaving the royal family.

    • Tessa says:

      Charles made the choices. He was not “forced” to marry Diana. And blames others for his own shortcomings. He was not “forced” to treat Harry the way he did and let Scooter drive out Harry. He could have stopped seeing Camilla even as a “friend”. He had no qualms about having no more contact with Dale Tryon and kept her away. He does what HE wants and it suited him to have his cake and eat it too so to speak. He got the heirs (he only wanted two children with Diana apparently and did not try for the girl that he supposedly wanted). Then he ditched her and they lived separate lives.

  12. kelleybelle says:

    Funny how a few months back Camilla’s son came out and said “she really doesn’t drink that much.” Gee, I wonder why THAT was necessary. She’s always been a boozer, since forever. Apparently the first and only job interview she showed up to she was hung over. Some queen consort Britain has, eh? Then there’s the adultery. Shameful. #abolishthemonarchy

  13. Jais says:

    It’s wild to see them say there’s supposedly an exchange in which William will let Camilla live a lavish lifestyle after the kings death only if Harry is kept banished. Like……dang. Not sure it’s true though. I don’t really see William agreeing to give Camilla money. I’d imagine Charles has already tucked away a plan for her somehow without the need for William.

    • Tessa says:

      Camilla has money a lot IMO plus she owns the Keppel Estate jewels that Charles gifted her and a home. I doubt she has to get money from Scooter

    • Becks1 says:

      yeah, if I’m sure about one thing in the royal world, its Charles has set things up so that camilla and her children are one thousand percent taken care of if he dies first (because she might pass first.) Housing, trusts, money, etc. Camilla is not in any way going to be dependent on William for a damn thing – and in my mind, that tells you a lot about how Charles views William.

  14. Harla says:

    “She emphatically believes Meghan and Harry are treacherous, twisted rats who have no place in the royal household.” pot calls kettle.

  15. QuiteContrary says:

    However true, the article made me cackle. And let’s face it, when people talk about Camilla being “fragrant,” it’s probably at least in part because she reeks of gin.

  16. Well Chuckles deserves what he got with this one!! Sounds like ole Peg and his minions are putting it out there hard with this bit of tat on drunk and power hungry Horsilla. Maybe it’s time to put the old nag down!

  17. Eurydice says:

    It’s hard for me to make sense of this. Control what and why? Rage around and give orders, to what purpose? Banish Harry and Meghan, again why? Is her position with Charles tenuous? Is it not the love for the ages that everybody insists? She’s out on her ass the minute Charles dies anyway, so what’s the point? I suppose the answer would be that she’s a bad character and serious alcoholic – then logic flies out the window.
