Prince William has reportedly cut ties with Queen Camilla’s interior designer sister, Annabel Elliot, after taking over the Duchy of Cornwall.
Over the past two decades, Ms Elliot, 75, has been paid several hundred thousand pounds for her services.
She was hired by King Charles as the chief designer of his estates following his 2005 marriage to Queen Camilla.
During her time with ‘team Cornwall’, she worked on the Duchy holiday cottage portfolio, decorating and updating its period properties in Cornwall, Wales and the Isles of Scilly.
However, sources told The Telegraph that Prince William would no longer employ Ms Elliot, although this decision is not a reflection on her work.
OK! has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.
The Duchy’s annual accounts reveal that she had been paid varying amounts between £19,625 and £82,272 “in the normal course of business and on an arm’s length basis” to maintain its rental properties, the Duchy offices and its plant nursery. Additionally, Ms Elliot was reimbursed each year with amounts ranging from £7,160 to £90,285 for the purchase of furniture, furnishings and retail stock.
The latest Duchy of Cornwall accounts, which detail the incomings and outgoings of Prince William’s first full year as Duke of Cornwall, show that for the first time in almost two decades, Ms Elliot was not paid for her services during 2023-2024.
Standing by Queen Camilla’s side at Westminster Abbey during the coronation was her sister, Annabel, who had recently lost her husband Simon. The sisters are said to be extremely close.
In 2014, Ms Elliot was ranked as the fifth most influential female interior designer by The Telegraph. Annabel, an interior designer, is close to her sister and on rare occasions has taken part in royal events with her older sibling.
During an ITV documentary screened in 2022, the pair even gave an insight into their family life when children, when a film crew accompanied them to Hall Place, the former Hampshire home of their grandparents.
It emerged in the show that Camilla buried her younger sister’s beloved teddy bear, known as “Tiddy Bar”, in the grounds and confessed only decades later.
Camilla said: “Yes, Tiddy Bar, he had a very happy resting ground,” and her sister joked: “I’ve not forgiven her, it still rankles to this day.”
The pair recalled rolling down hills, catching butterflies in jars and dressing correctly for their strict grandmother, as they chatted about which of the furnishings they each now have in their own homes.
