Levin claims that William 'has made it clear that Camilla is the wife of his father, but not a step-grandmother to his children'.
Levin also writes that Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis have 'two grandfathers but only one grandmother'. The biographer examined how Camilla approached the now-Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex after her wedding to Charles in 2005.
