Upon learning of the will's contents, which granted Catherine the Queen’s most valued possessions, including family heirlooms, estates, personal letters, and public trusts. Camilla was reported devastated, experiencing an emotional outburst, marked by screaming and shattering a crystal decanter, and accused King Charles of betrayal. It was reported that the Queen wanted to humiliate Camilla from beyond the grave!
While Camila struggled with her rejection, Catherine had a calm and strong reaction. The video highlights Catherine's grace. Queen Elizabeth's will include a handwritten letter to Catherine, praising her "strength and restraint, your loyalty in silence." This letter, along with significant gifts, implicitly named Catherine as the future of the monarchy.
Prince William's reaction was pivotal, privately and publicly supporting Catherine. He saw the Queen's will as an opportunity to secure the future of the monarchy and took measures to support this, quietly re-structuring to solidify her role. His goal was to support the transition.
The public quickly discovered the will. This caused an explosion of public support for Catherine, which was confirmed by polls and media coverage. Camilla's image began to crumble as her public appearances were reduced. Catherine's role within the Royal Family has expanded, and she has increasingly become the public face of the monarchy.
