Kate fumes at Camilla 'flirting' with her dad

While most people would be delighted with their parents and in-laws getting on like a house on fire, it’s been reported that Kate Middleton is fuming with Camilla.

According to New Idea, Kate is far from pleased with her mother-in-law’s budding friendship with her father Michael Middleton.

“Whenever they’re in the same room, she makes a beeline straight for him and flirts outrageously,” a royal source told the magazine.

And while Kate is reportedly upset about Camilla trying to find a way into her family life, it’s been reported that Michael is baffled by Camilla’s actions.

“He likes Charles a great deal, and he’s a devoted family man who wouldn’t dream of flirting with a married woman – let alone the wife of the heir of the throne,” the source said.

Kate isn’t the only one losing sleep over Camilla’s ways as it’s been reported that William is trying to distract his wife from what’s happening

“Wills can’t help but wonder if she’s hamming it all up just to get a reaction out of Kate,” the source said.

Camilla’s reported behavior comes after it was revealed that she wasn’t always a fan of Kate Middleton.

According to author Christopher Anderson, who wrote the book William and Kate: A Royal Love Story, Camilla may have been behind Prince William’s decision to dump Kate back in 2007.

Many may have been predicting a royal wedding at the time, however Anderson claims Camilla planted the seed in Charles’ head to urge his son to break away from Kate.

At the time, Kate and Wills were spending an increasing amount of time apart.

William was stationed at a barracks outside London and Kate was pursuing a fashion career, with both of them being photographed many times out on the tiles without the other.

Kate was being hounded by photographers, with William pleading for her privacy in a statement released through Kensington Palace.

Indeed it seems things got too much for the lovebirds as in March 2007 they had parted ways.

At the time it was thought it was due to William’s unwillingness to commit to a relationship, however now it’s been claimed that Charles’ second wife, Camilla, may have orchestrated the whole thing.

According to Anderson, Camilla was furious that Kate was “sucking up all the attention” at a time when she was trying to win over the public.

Anderson claims Camilla thought Kate wasn’t worthy enough to be welcomed into the royal family.

In his book, Game of Crowns, he wrote: “Kate is the first working-class woman to be accepted into the Royal Family.

“She is descended from coal miners and her mother was a flight attendant.

“So for all those reasons Camilla never really felt that Kate Middleton as an individual and the Middleton family as a whole were going to be worthy of entering into the Royal Family.

“I was told at the time of the breakup, and later on as well, that Camilla basically whispered in Charles’s ear that it was really time to make—to force—William to make a decision one way or the other.“

However her alleged plan didn’t work and things soon smoothed out between Wills and Kate, with the pair reuniting in June that year and marrying four years later.

Camilla’s alleged flirtatious banter with Michael Middleton also comes after it was revealed that Charles and Camilla may be headed for a divorce.

The couple, who married in April 2005, are believed to be in talks with Kensington Palace's lawyers over the state of their marriage.

According to New Idea, the Queen is "devastated" by the news and is desperately working to get them back together.
