It looks like there's a good reason why you never see Kate Middleton standing next to Camilla Parker Bowles in pictures, even at royal family functions. There's a new rumor that says Prince Charles' wife supposedly tried to tear things apart between the Duchess and her husband Prince William, simply because she was jealous of all the attention they were getting from the public.

According to The Daily News on Friday, bestselling author Christopher Anderson alleges in his upcoming book Game of Crowns that Camilla was trying to "create a wedge" between the Duke and Duchess all because "she was disgusted with William and Kate sucking up all the attention." Throughout the years she's been hoping to fix her reputation as the media has always portrayed her as the person who broke up Prince Charles' marriage to the late Princess Diana.

In fact, it might have even been Camilla who was behind the couple's break up back in 2007, when William abruptly halted things with Kate. The royal pair ended up getting back together and tying the knot in April of 2011.

In his book,  Anderson says that Camilla managed to make Prince Charles step in between William and Kate, especially after he started expressing doubts about them settling together at such a young age.

For Camilla though, she's had a hard time fitting in from the get-go. According to Anderson, Queen Elizabeth didn't want to see her son marrying her and even ordered her children Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles to stay away from her grandchildren, Princes William and Harry. Despite the resistance, Prince Charles and Camilla wed back in 2005.
