Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, was officially designated the new patron of the National Theatre on Thursday, taking up a job previously held by Meghan Markle, which was said to be a source of intense rivalry between the two women.
According to a source close to the situation, Camilla was “all the more delighted to take it on now, after being disappointed not to get it first time round.”
The comment pointed to the role being the source of conflict between the stepmother and daughter-in-law, and it can be traced back to when Meghan was given the job for the first time.

The Mirror reported in 2020 that Meghan’s choice to publicise images of herself attending the National Theatre as its patron irritated Camilla since they overshadowed an important campaign of hers.
Duchess Camilla delivered a groundbreaking speech about domestic abuse at the 10th anniversary of the Women of the World Festival in London on the same day as Meghan’s photos were released.
Meghan allegedly ‘broke a vow’ not to overshadow Camilla’s campaign with this event.
An insider also told the publication at the time: “Camilla’s work is very important to her and her decision to highlight the scourge of domestic violence at the 10th ¬anniversary of Women of the World was a carefully thought-out plan.”
“Of course, it was known Harry and Meghan would be doing engagements this week, some privately, but everyone was in agreement that Camilla’s speech should take precedence. -Unfortunately, some people had other ideas.”
