The Princess Royal is alleged to have told her sister-in-law that her title is Queen Consort and not Queen, according to Princess Diana's dressmaker, David Emanuel.
This is no longer the case, and instead, these Princesses must curtsey to Camilla as she outranks them. This of course means that Princess Anne is forced to ignore her 'blood Princess' title when it comes to greeting Camilla.
Thanks to its sexy deception in Netflix drama The Crown, Anne's fling with Andrew Parker-Bowles is her most famous. The Princess had a fling with Andrew in 1970, a couple of years before he married Camilla in 1973, though the relationship was never serious.

Royal biographer Tom Bower highlighted a crucial moment during the coronation on May 6, where Kate deviated from tradition and chose not to bow or curtsy as Camilla and Charles exited Westminster Abbey.
Prince William defied royal protocol at the King's Coronation when he chose not to bow to Queen Camilla at the Coronation Concert.
The wobble, which meant Princess Charlotte did not curtsy to Queen Camilla, appeared to be caught by her step-grandmother, who subtly reassured her step-granddaughter with a brief pat on the shoulder as she passed by.
“Anne feels Camilla overstepped the mark ahead of the coronation by referring to herself simply as Queen,” the insider shared with the publication. “She showed no humility by dropping 'consort' and no-one knew she would be taking the full title of Queen since the late Queen's announcement,” the insider said.

As for what the queen kept in her bag, royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith says the items weren't all that different from what normal women carry with them: a mirror, lipstick, mint lozenges and reading glasses. As for the rest of the royal family, they have their own dress code rules they have to follow.
“Camilla seems to have a very steady disposition and a healthy lack of ego. Having had a nurturing, loving family background, she is less emotionally needy than either Charles or Diana … So, she was able to give Charles the kind of love and care he needs,” Quora user Margaret Shannon wrote.
