Queen Camilla’s new ‘celebrity court move’ as William and Kate rise in royal power

LONDON: Queen Camilla is reportedly expanding her inner circle with a high-profile celebrity ally as shifting dynamics within the royal household continue to draw attention, according to recent reports.

The development comes at a time when the Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to be taking on a more prominent behind-the-scenes role, with growing expectations that the couple will play a central part in the monarchy’s future direction.

Sources suggest that the Prince and Princess of Wales have been increasingly active in shaping internal discussions, particularly as preparations continue for long-term succession planning within the Palace.

At the same time, reports indicate that Queen Camilla has been strengthening her own network of trusted public figures and supporters, described by insiders as a way of “spicing up her court” amid evolving roles within the royal family.

One notable name linked to the Queen’s growing circle is former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, who has been seen accompanying Camilla at several public engagements in recent months.

According to a source quoted in UK media, Halliwell has been increasingly involved in supporting the Queen’s charitable appearances and shared public duties.

“She supports most of her prominent causes and has joined her on visits to charities,” the source said, describing her role as similar to a modern informal companion to royal engagements.

The pair are also said to share personal interests, including a mutual appreciation for horses, which has fuelled speculation that Halliwell could appear alongside the Queen at future events such as Royal Ascot.

Observers note that Camilla’s approach reflects a more modern adaptation of traditional royal households, especially after she moved away from the historic system of appointing formal ladies-in-waiting.

Meanwhile, the increasing visibility of the Waleses continues to reshape perceptions of influence within the monarchy, with public attention increasingly focused on their future role.

As both sides of the royal household adjust to evolving responsibilities, the latest reports highlight a subtle but noticeable shift in how influence, support networks, and public presence are being structured within the Palace.
