King Charles & Queen Camilla Argue Over Renovations

Queen Camilla is a big advocate for literacy, and one of the ways she's supporting this passion of hers is by insisting on the creation of a formal library in addition to the renovations already underway at Buckingham Palace. According to reports, the Queen is holding her ground, which is "irritating [Charles] beyond belief."

While Charles sees the library renovations as a balance between tradition and practicality, Camilla sees it as "creating a cultural legacy." But it seems only one of them is thinking about the cost. The project could cost taxpayers $500M, with Camilla's requests tacking on extra costs. "The Queen feels the monarchy has a duty to promote learning," the source explained, while Charles feels the costs may not be necessary.

King Charles & Queen Camilla Live Separate Lives

We know that King Charles and Queen Camilla have long preferred sleeping in separate bedrooms, and that the Queen Consort often retreats to her beloved Wiltshire home for peace and privacy. But new reports suggest that this is only the beginning of their distance...

According to RadarOnline, close friends of the royal couple claim they are leading "largely separate lives" at the moment. And although they may attend royal engagements together – and with smiles on their faces, no less – the friends insist that it's just to "keep up appearances" for the sake of the monarchy, and they are essentially "divorced in everything but name. They are living two separate lives."
