Queen Camilla still holds grudge against King Charles' first wife Diana?

Princess Diana’s close friend and aide has suffered a huge blow because of Queen Camilla’s alleged dislike for the former Princess of Wales, new report claimed.

Paul Burrell, former royal butler and close friend of Diana, has reportedly been dropped from the line-up of Strictly Come Dancing after years of hoping to appear on the show, per The Mirror.

“They know how much Queen Camilla loves the show and would love for her to appear in the audience but they fear that Paul’s involvement would scupper that relationship,” an insider said.

Now, a report by New Idea Magazine claimed that producers are concerned that Burrell could risk damaging their relationship with Camilla, who is a known fan of the series.

Speaking with the publication, a royal tipster revealed that Camilla is “no fan of Paul’s, but she would never intervene in a show’s casting choices.”

“Even if he was a contestant, it’s unlikely it would concern her too much now she’s Queen,” they added.

“However, it might make her hesitant to host any tea parties this year and that would certainly be a factor in whether or not Strictly bosses would have Paul on.”

The source added that Burrell, who once appeared on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, would be deeply disappointed at missing the chance to show his skills on the dance floor.

“He thinks it’s the only possible reason that makes sense as to why he keeps getting passed over: the royal nod,” they said.

“But even he knows the support of the Queen is far more valuable to the show than him mincing around in tights.”

To add to it, Burrell’s “untasteful comments” about Camilla over the years would be doing him no favours as the insider said, “One never forgets.”
