Queen Camilla has called on the British monarch King Charles to “stop” Prince William from “trying to create issues” in the monarchy, a former royal photographer claimed.
Ian Pelham Turner praised Charles for his leadership but suggested corners need to be “smoothed out” across the Royal Family.
The royal insider has seen a change in the monarch, and he thinks Camilla has had a big effect on him as Charles gets spring in his step back.

Pelham Turner told Mirror US, “Charles has great humanity, and I think he just needed the corners smoothed out, and I think that’s what Camilla has done more than anything.
“I think what is happening at the moment, and it’s just my inkling, there’s nothing I can sort of prove, and say, ‘this is the case,’ but I get the feeling at the moment, that she’s seeing William trying to create issues and she’s told Charles to stop it.”

Pelham Turner continued, “I want Charles to have his time, I get it, I think in a lot of ways, he is a very good King, I really do, and I think, where he’s come in his life now with Camilla by his side, Camilla is a much stronger person, I think, for him.”
One of Pelham Turner’s last photography events before entering television was covering Prince William and Princess Kate’s wedding.
According to Pelham Turner, when Charles and William arrived at the wedding, they ran straight into the church, but didn’t get a chance to greet the crowd, which was 10,000 people deep, and they were clearly disappointed.
On the way out, when Charles and Camilla were sitting in their carriage, Pelham Turner saw Camilla turn to her husband and say, “Wave,” which he did.
Camilla has had a big impact on Charles
It may not seem all that major, but it’s the small things that matter, and according to Pelham Turner, Camilla has a way with him.
He said, “When I look at Camilla nowadays, although she’s still vilified by women over 50, because they remember Diana, I think in a lot of ways, she’s actually taught Charles how to be human.”
Pelham Turner met Charles when he was still married to Princess Diana, and by the end of their marriage, Charles had his PR team, and Diana had her PR team, says the royal commentator.
He can see the progression and how things have changed from then and now.
Charles needed his corners smoothed out
Just recently, Charles’ rep met with Harry’s two reps at a private members club, on its outdoor balcony, which wasn’t all that private and was captured on camera.
According to Pelham Turner, he believes Camilla played a role in arranging this, and that it would make sense for the public to know this is happening.
He said, “I think what we’re seeing now, and this is just my take on it, the balcony shot, was the first shot across the bows, and I would say, a lot of influence probably came from Camilla.”
“I think the reality is, it’s been rumored for a while, that William has been trying to push — whatever — in the monarchy, at the moment, that he’s the driving force behind the throne and I think, Charles should be.”
