I do spend some time wondering what Queen Elizabeth really thinks of her granddaughter-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge. I also would love to know what the Queen thinks of Prince William, and if she’s unhappy, whether William gets the brunt of the criticism. Someone threw out an interesting theory on last week’s jewelry thread that the Queen isn’t gifting Kate with major jewelry pieces because the Queen still isn’t sure that this marriage will last. Maybe it’s a natural concern, maybe it’s that the Queen sees William’s outright disgust with royal work, I don’t know. But I feel like the Queen is watching and waiting and judging. Anyway, this week’s Life & Style cover story is all about Kate going to “war” with the Queen – because Kate is following William to Anmer Hall so he can be an air ambulance pilot.
A tabloid has claimed that Kate Middleton is fighting with her royal grandmother-in-law, the Queen. The cover of Life & Style magazine’s 25 August issue says the Duchess of Cambridge is at “war” with the 88-year-old monarch, stating: “Kate Packs Up And Leaves!”
The publication further claims:”‘I want a normal life,’ she [Kate Middleton] says, rejecting the Queen’s attempt to control her.”
A source allegedly told the publication that the royal couple’s decision to move out of their newly renovated Kensington Palace apartment and into the 10-bedroom Anmer Hall house in Norfolk has upset the Queen.
“The Queen is furious. It’s a huge slap in the face. Kate, and now William, are sending the message that they refuse to be forced by the Queen to do anything,” the insider is reported to have said.
“The move can’t come soon enough for Kate. She feels utterly trapped in London and living in Kensington Palace,” the source revealed, adding that the 32-year-old royal is excited about moving her family to the countryside.
“Kate has lots of friends with kids who live in Norfolk, and she is already planning a very full social life for her and William and George,” the source went on. “George won’t have a shortage of playmates, unlike in London, where he doesn’t have much freedom.”

Wait, George is the one who needs freedom? Hahaha. Way to throw your baby under the bus! William is the one who needs “freedom” – freedom from having a regular work schedule, freedom from undertaking royal work in a real way, freedom from having the press deign to ask questions about how he conducts himself. And I’m sure Kate and George are just along for the ride. But sure, Kate probably wants to live in a spacious mansion in the country so she can spend all of her time shopping, lunching with friends, etc.
