Princess Anne confronts Queen Camilla amid tensions over her new title

Princess Anne has allegedly confronted Queen Camilla over her new title at a tense Coronation dinner with other members of the Royal Family.

According to Princess Diana 's dressmaker, David Emanuel, the topic of Camilla's new title is "highly charged" and "a lot of people" are "unhappy" that she will be referred to as Queen rather than Queen Consort.

The Mirror reports that Camilla was reportedly confronted by Anne as the designer said the "whole situation" is "very difficult" amid claims that not everyone accepts her new title.

Speaking to Dan Wootton on GB News, Mr Emanuel, who designed Princess Diana's wedding dress in 1981, said: "I heard that there was a Coronation dinner which obviously the King and Camila were there, and apparently the Princess Royal said, 'You're not Queen, you're the Queen's consort'."

He added: "I understood from Her Majesty the Queen, she said she should be Queen Consort. Now suddenly she's now going to be Queen.

"And it's very difficult because a lot of people have told me they were unhappy about it."

Princess Anne will feature in the procession as the prestigious "Gold-Stick-in-Waiting" in the Coronation, a position historically handed to a person entrusted with the personal safety of the sovereign.

Anne will travel on horseback behind the new King and Queen after they are crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6.

As Charles and Camilla ride in the Gold State Coach back to Buckingham Palace, Anne will lead the larger procession featuring 6,000 armed services personnel.

The privilege dates back to the 15th century in Tudor times, when two officers - a Gold Stick and a Silver Stick, were placed close to the sovereign to protect him or her from danger.

One of the guests at the Coronation is Camilla's former husband Andrew Parker Bowles, who was married to her for 22 years from 1973 to 1995.

Andrew also once had a brief romance with Princess Anne, and the two reportedly remain close friends.

His grandchildren Freddy, 13, and twin boys Gus and Louis, also 13, will carry the train of Camilla's robes.

According to the newspaper, a friend of the Parker Bowles family said: "They are joined at the hip. He arranges so much for her. They have lunch together the whole time. He's right in there. He was always, and still is, Camilla's co-conspirator."
