Queen Camilla to receive meaningful role after King's favour to Kate

Queen Camilla, who has remained by King Charles’s side as a supportive pillar during his cancer journey, would now be looking for a return in favour this year.

Reports had previously suggested that Camilla may be looking to take a much more relaxed approach to royal duties, even though she is not particularly happy about Princess Kate stealing the spotlight for key events.

The royal family went through a challenging time last year given the slew of scandals, controversies and some family drama. The royals would have hoped that this year they could focus on something rather positive and catch a break. However, as the year of the Horse is set unleash itself after mid-February, there buzzing energy on the horizon, according to experts.

“2026 is a year to embrace change and when opportunities appear, take them, as the energy of the year favours those who dare,” Janine Lowe, Chinese astrology and feng shui consultant, told HELLO! magazine.

She explained that the year is “filled with passion, vitality, and courage”. Moreover, one would find themselves making bold decisions, risks and possibly rare announcements.

For Camilla, born in the year of the Pig 1947, the year will be quite active despite what she must have intended it to be for herself.

The expert shared that Camilla can “expect a year of heightened visibility and meaningful responsibility”. She also noted that the Queen Consort would need “emotional strength to support the King”.

Meanwhile, last year, Kate seemed to have the favour of her father-in-law by her side, as she performed prominent roles during significant events, including State Banquets.

Camilla was not happy to see Kate, who is not the Queen yet, grab the most attention from the current Queen. On the other hand, Charles is supportive of his daughter-in-law and believes she is good for maintaining the royal image and making connection with the public.

It is possible that this time around, the King would shift his attention to bring Camilla to the forefront. Camilla could receive a major role, which could earn not only attention but also the public opinion in her favour.
