Royal insiders fear Princess of Wales's visit to Chelsea Flower Show overshadowed that of King Charles and Queen Camilla

It seems that there are concerns among some royal insiders that King Charles was overshadowed by the presence of Catherine, Princess of Wales, during his first visit to the Chelsea Flower Show as monarch. The event holds significance for King Charles as he is known to be a passionate gardener and nature enthusiast. During the visit, King Charles and Queen Camilla presented a medal in memory of his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, to honor prominent figures in gardening.

The surprise appearance of Princess Kate at the event on the same day seems to have garnered a significant amount of coverage, which has raised concerns among some that King Charles may find himself overshadowed by his daughter-in-law. This situation has drawn parallels to the past, particularly when King Charles was married to his first wife, Princess Diana, and her popularity often overshadowed him. It is worth noting that these concerns are being reported by a single source, and it may not reflect the views of all royal insiders.

Prince Harry, in his controversial memoir, claimed that he and his brother, Prince William, were restricted in the number of public engagements they could undertake. According to Harry, his father, Prince Charles, and Camilla didn't like William and Kate drawing attention away from them or their causes. He mentioned an incident where Kate's scheduled engagement clashed with Charles and Camilla's appearance, and it was strictly prohibited due to concerns about overshadowing.

Despite the concerns raised, there is no indication in the information provided that King Charles or Queen Camilla showed any signs of annoyance at Princess Kate's surprise visit to the Chelsea Flower Show. They both enjoyed themselves at the event, with King Charles mentioning his search for plants to replace ones eaten by rabbits at Highgrove. Queen Camilla made an unscheduled stop-over at a Chelsea garden and admired its features.

Ultimately, while some insiders may have expressed concerns about King Charles being overshadowed, it is important to note that these concerns are based on a single source and may not reflect the broader sentiment within the royal family. The coverage and attention received by different members of the royal family at various events can vary, and it is common for public interest to fluctuate depending on the circumstances.
