QuoteAs the new wife of the Prince of Wales, Camilla ought to have come second in order of precedence after the Queen ? the position Diana occupied as Princess of Wales.
However, owing to the circumstances and evolution of her relationship with Charles, Camilla was moved down a peg or two.
?This was done at the behest of Princess Anne and Princess Alexandra, both of whom had given their adult lives to royal service,? a former courtier told me.
I had read that this was the reason behind the change in policy.
Yes, I read somewhere that Anne went to the Queen and objected to curtseying to Diana and then to Camilla. The Queen saw her point, and changed the rules after Charles married again. (Anne had never curtseyed to Diana, though I don't suppose she noticed.)
