Kate Middleton has been given the King's approval to do one thing he never allowed the late Princess Diana to do which is to steal the limelight from him according to a royal expert. Previous reports from royal insiders claim the monarch feared that
Prince William and Kate's popularity would overshadow him and his wife
Queen Camilla but one expert has now claimed that Charles has given them his blessing to do so. Meanwhile, Charles never granted the same permission to his late wife Diana who he is believed to have grown increasingly jealous of during their marriage while she received public attention, the Mirror reports.

Charles is said to have been very jealous of his late ex-wife Diana due to her public popularity (Image: Tim Graham Photo Library via Getty Images) Diana confirmed her ex-husband's jealousy in her famous Panorama interview in 1995 as she said: "The pressure on us both as a couple with the media was phenomenal, and misunderstood by a great many people. "We'd be going round Australia for instance, and all you could hear was, 'Oh, she's on the other side.' "Now, if you're a man like my husband, a proud man, you mind about that if you hear it every day for four weeks. And you feel low about it, instead of feeling happy and sharing it." Claiming it caused "a lot of jealousy", she added: "A great deal of complicated situations arose because of that." An expert now claims that the new Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton has upstaged the King and his now-wife Queen Camilla. Kate's surprise appearance at the
Chelsea Flower Show is sad to have caused far more excitement than when he and Camilla visited hours later. However, royal expert Robert Jobson has explained that Kate has her father-in-law's blessing to "steal the limelight" and it's down to him now having the top
Job. Writing for MailOnline, he explained: "Whilst it is Charles' head that wears the Crown, it is William, Catherine and their children that will steal the limelight. "They are bound to. And it is right. This time, it will be with Charles's blessing – for he knows for monarchy to survive it must be relevant to the younger generation."
