Columnist Daniela Elser highlighted the friendship between future Queen Consorts the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge. It comes after Kate photographed Camilla for Country Life magazine to celebrate her 75th birthday.
Ms. Elser said the pair don’t have much in common “on paper,” other than they’ve captured the attention of future kings.
Writing for news.com.au, she added: “But lately something has changed very clearly on this front and somehow Camilla and Kate have become a formidable – and very friendly – power couple.
“Obviously they really get along like a house on fire.”
Ms Elser highlighted how Kate stepped out in February with Camilla and Prince Charles for a rare joint engagement.
Meanwhile, the two duchesses were a “double act” as they shared a carriage for Trooping the Color and Garter Day last month.
The columnist said the bond between Camilla and Kate is “so remarkable” because it is an “abject departure” in royal history.
She said: “The point is that we have never seen such an alliance of Kate and Camilla, two women who grew up without titles and nobility and yet in whose hands now lies the future of the monarchy.
“When the sad but inevitable comes when the Queen dies, the coronation of Queen Camilla and later the arrival of the new Princess of Wales will represent a new era in which the two most powerful women in the monarchy are closely aligned.
