There is a storm brewing in the British royal household.

Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of the royal family and Carole Middleton appear to be in head-on collision over the manner in which the children of Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, are being raised.

A report by Celebrity Dirty Laundry claimed that the royal family is not happy how middle class Carole is exerting too much effort to control Kate and her family, including the raising of the royal children.

Indeed, Carole is succeeding in convincing Kate breaking away from royal traditions and imbibe her middle class values into the royal couple and even moved into Amner Hall to be closer to Kate and Prince William.

Celebrity Dirty Laundry writes, "By convincing William to insist the Middletons be not only accepted, but welcome and present in their lives, the middleclass Middletons were able to orchestrate a royal revolution. Carole and Michael Middleton housed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after Kate gave birth to Prince George, greatly influencing their parenting style from George's infancy.

"Carole eventually took over, changed royal traditions, and even set Prince George's naps times to coincide with Prince Charles' visits."

And Carole seems to be enjoying the limelight. She has been trying to raise her own public stature and has followed the unsuccessful footsteps of one of her daughters, Pippa, in giving out party tips. According to the Daily Mail, Carole is suggesting using disposable plates, placing kids at separate tables and mocktails for the teenagers as her party-hosting tips.

And while the feud simmers and heads to boiling point, rumors persist that Kate is pregnant again, this time with twins. It the report is true, then Kate will have four children all below the age of 3.

 "To say she was shocked would be an understatement," a source told OK!. "She's suffering more from exhaustion than anything else."

According to the report, Kate is taking her alleged third pregnancy much better compared to her first two pregnancies when she suffered long stretches of severe morning sickness that left her bedridden.

This time, Kate is able to make her public appearances despite three months on the family way.

 "She hasn't had much of an appetite, so she's hardly gained any weight," the source told OK!. "Kate is very good at putting on a brace face, but everyone just wants to make sure she's taking care of herself."
