The Sun reported that in comparison with Princess Diana who was present at the state banquet for the King of Saudi Arabia before her marriage to Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles is out of favor with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The paper also quoted a Palace source as saying: "There is no real reason why Camilla could not have attended. She is the Prince of Wales' fiancée and as such, it would be natural for her to be included.
"The fact she wasn't is evidence she is still held in petty contempt by senior royals.
But according to Camilla's spokesperson the Princess Consort-to-be did not attend the feasts because of the other plans.
As for the royal wedding, it is no secret that the pair decided not to televise their marriage.
