The source said, "She’s saying William needs to be taken down a peg and should not be challenging her authority the way he did.”

The royal source went on saying, "And it’s not just her that he’s being out of order with, he’s refusing to take orders from the King these days too.”

In Queen Camilla’s view, Prince William needs a ‘serious talking’ from his father, and “she believes he’s far too eager to start calling the shots before his time.”

"She’s accused William of acting as though he already has the final say and that Charles' reign is merely a formality that needs to be endured before he takes over,” the sources claimed.

The report further says Queen Camilla is ‘furious’ over Prince William’s desire to overrule.
