Middletons left Prince Charles upset over Prince George's birthday plans, says source

Kate Middleton's parents reportedly made Prince Charles feel dejected when they left him out of the preparations for Prince George's birthday party years ago.

It is known that working royals have their schedule of activities planned months ahead. They have busy schedules and would need to plot out personal time-off in advance. Birthday parties in the royal household are no exception, as everyone is encouraged to help out with the preparations.

However, Prince George's birthday party in 2017 had allegedly left the Prince of Wales feeling upset because he was given little to do to help. Kate Middleton's parents, Carole and Michael, took over the preparations out of respect for his busy schedule.

But Prince Charles allegedly misinterpreted their thoughtfulness. A source told Daily Star, "Carole organised everything and Charles and Camilla were, of course, invited. He went because he wasn't prepared to miss out but Camilla didn't go. Apparently she had other commitments."

The insider added that the future king "didn't want to miss his grandson's birthday." However, "the fact that the whole thing was essentially a Middleton event with Carole orchestrating the whole thing is exactly what upsets him."

This has reportedly contributed to the resentment Prince Charles feels for Kate Middleton's parents. It is said that their feud stems from the fact that his in-laws, who run their own business, have more free time to visit their grandchildren. Whereas, his busy schedule prevents him from seeing Prince George or his other grandchildren as much as he would like.

A family friend chimed in and said, "Charles feels rather left out. He gets very little time with his grandchildren and I know he gets upset about it because he has said so."

However, no one really knows what happens behind palace walls and the royals are known to be very private when it comes to their family. They often greet family members online during their birthdays. As for Prince George, he will turn nine years old on July 22. Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrated their son's milestone with a new portrait that the duchess took herself.
