Previous reports have claimed Queen Camilla has been begging husband King Charles to slow down with his work amid his ongoing cancer battle ever since his cancer diagnosis was revealed to the public. But if we are to believe newer reports, she seems to have done a 180…
The Queen Consort is now reportedly pushing the King to work more than he should – or at least not being vocal enough in her pleas for him to slow down, which heir Prince William sees as essentially the same thing. Keep reading to find out more!

Prince William And Queen Camilla Are 'At War' Over King Charles' Work
According to reports, Prince William – who has seldom seen eye to eye with his stepmother – is said to be "at war" with her over his father's health. He reportedly feels she isn't doing enough to encourage King Charles to take it easy as he recovers from cancer.
King Charles' sense of duty is well known, and he clearly inherited it from his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II. This was made very evident when he previously told Prince William that working less and undergoing fewer public appearances during his and Kate Middleton's cancer battles was not an option, as someone needed to be the face of the monarchy and essentially pick up the slack.
"William has been urging his father to ease off and genuinely take a step back to focus on his health, but each time he brings it up, it seems to trigger tension because Camilla is seen as encouraging Charles to keep pushing forward with his public duties," an insider spilled to RadarOnline. "It's becoming a recurring point of conflict between them," the insider added.
Did Recent Nigerian State Visit Prove How Bad The King's Health Is?
The insider went on to use the recent state visit from the President of Nigeria as an example of King Charles doing more than Prince William believes he should.
"The state banquet in particular really brought those differences to the surface. William was firmly of the view that Charles simply wasn't well enough to attend and should have prioritized rest, but Camilla was adamant that their presence was necessary, especially given the scrutiny the family is under," they said.
"They ultimately went ahead, but it didn't ease concerns – if anything, it heightened them," they continued. "Afterwards, a lot of the discussion centered on how fatigued and unwell Charles appeared, which only reinforced William's fears that his father is doing too much."
"For him," the insider shared, "it felt like clear evidence that his concerns aren't being taken seriously, and that has made the situation even more difficult.”
Insider Says William Is 'Distressed' Watching His Father 'Take On Too Much'
"There is a growing sense internally that William now sees himself in direct opposition to Camilla on this issue. The phrase being used is that he feels almost at war with her, because he cannot reconcile what he sees as her role in encouraging Charles to keep pushing himself when, in his view, his health should be the overriding priority," they added.
"William is genuinely distressed watching what he believes is his father taking on too much," the source claimed. "He feels there is a clear need for Charles to slow down, but from where he stands, every effort to suggest that is effectively shut down."
"He sees Camilla as the main barrier to any meaningful reduction in workload, and that has left him feeling increasingly frustrated and, at times, powerless to intervene."
And of course, the fact that the two of them have had a frosty relationship over the years doesn't help things, and unsurprisingly only adds to the tension. "It has stirred up a lot of unresolved feelings from the past, and those tensions have come rushing back," the source said, before concluding: "What might once have been a practical disagreement about duty has now taken on a far more personal dimension for him."
