Queen Camilla is reportedly "leading the anti-York faction" within the Royal Family, alongside Prince William, according to claims.
The Queen is said to be firm in her belief that the Firm should maintain a significant distance from the Yorks, including the King's nieces, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.
Camilla's position was evident when her name was conspicuously missing from Buckingham Palace's statement regarding Princess Eugenie's third pregnancy.

The Palace announced that the King was "delighted" by the news, without mentioning his wife.
The Mail on Sunday reported that the Queen has been "instrumental" in urging the monarch to take action against his disgraced brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

A source revealed to the publication: "She[the Queen] took a back seat on the scandal for quite a while out of deference to the King's familial loyalties and to his health. But as the King's health has improved, she was instrumental in pushing him to act."

The report further suggested that Camilla believes Beatrice and Eugenie should voluntarily relinquish their titles and that the entire York family should be stripped from the line of succession.
Supporting Camilla's position is the Prince of Wales, who is reportedly troubled by his cousins' connections to Epstein. A source revealed: "William was keen to keep the girls close and not let them be tainted by the sins of their father and the stupidity of both parents, but the Epstein revelations mean he has abandoned that plan. The way he and [Catherine] have pointedly not publicly welcomed the baby news is a sign of how things have changed."

However, a separate insider noted that despite efforts from both Camilla and William for "clearer action to distance the institution from the entire York branch of the family," the King remains "very fond" of his nieces.
The source elaborated: "William isn't as close to Beatrice and Eugenie as Harry is, but in the past few years, he has invited Beatrice and Eugenie as well as other cousins to help him and Catherine host one of the Buckingham Palace garden parties.
