The buzz around troubles between Kate Middleton, Prince William and Queen Elizabeth has started getting louder in the last few months. And, now some evidence has also surfaced about the Queen being miffed with her grand daughter-in-law.
Moreover, ever since Prince Harry's girlfriend, Meghan Markle made an entry into the royal family scene, things have only gotten worse for the Duchess of Cambridge.
It seems Queen Elizabeth ignored Kate once again and gave precedence to her rival Countess Sophie Wessex, reports Celebritydeal.com. The queen invited Sophie to accompany her and Prince Philip to the diamond anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards at Westminster on Thursday. It was a Service of Thanksgiving to celebrate the Award that has a long and rich history of inspiring young people to serve in their communities.
A noble initiative, it was founded 60 years ago by Prince Philip after a former headmaster requested him to do so and at present, it has become a leading award for young achievers. Millions of lives in different parts of the world have been positively transformed by their accomplishments. It covers 140 countries and evokes youngsters in the age group of 14-24 years to develop a sense of adventure and reach beyond their classrooms to learn skills that will prove useful to them in future.
Therefore, it might seem appropriate that the Queen did not ask Kate to come along as she does not embody the strong adventure and service spirit, the award celebrates and recognizes. The Duchess of Cambridge is known to be work-shy and has been often criticized by the media for being lazy and averse to royal duties. The Queen is also critical of her attitude and it is said to have alienated her even more.
On the other hand, Sophie is known to be earnest. In fact, she trained hard for the tough 450-mile Duke of Edinburgh Cycling Challenge. In stark contrast, Kate was enjoying her holidays in France at that time. Well, probably what brings the Countess and the Queen closer is the fact that both of them share a love for history and like to go through historical documents in their free time.
