There have been swirling rumors and dramatic allegations that Prince William stripped Camilla's title after she was caught selling royal jewels, but these claims are largely speculative and unconfirmed by official sources. According to popular reports circulating in August 2025, suspicion arose after a series of priceless royal heirlooms, some belonging to Princess Diana’s collection, disappeared from the Crown Jewels vault.

The most iconic item at the center of the controversy was Diana’s pearl choker featuring four strands of pristine Japanese pearls and an oval diamond clasp—a symbol of her legacy and influence.
Allegations claim Camilla sought to claim part of Diana’s legacy by wearing and possibly transferring these jewels to secure her place in the royal hierarchy, an act viewed by some insiders as an ambitious but risky power move. The controversy reached a boiling point when it was suggested that Camilla had secretly kept the necklace locked away in her personal quarters, fueling suspicions of theft and betrayal within the royal family.
It is said that Prince William confronted Camilla publicly during a royal luncheon, demanding answers and safeguarding Diana’s legacy ahead of his future monarchy. King Charles reportedly refused to defend Camilla, leading to her being quietly sidelined and stripped of some royal duties and the influential title of Queen Consort, demoted to Princess Consort. The royal council and family deliberated extensively, ultimately deciding to protect the crown’s reputation and legacy over personal loyalties.
However, major fact-checking sources and credible royal insiders have denied any official expulsion or stripping of Camilla's title. These claims appear to be dramatized narratives mixed with real tensions within the royal household. Camilla remains Queen Consort officially, though ongoing family tensions and palace politics continue to stir public intrigue.
This episode highlights the fragile balance of power, legacy, and public image that defines the British monarchy in the post-Elizabethan era, demonstrating how personal ambitions can clash with royal tradition.
