A new tabloid report says that Queen Elizabeth has Alzheimer’s disease, but it may be a rumor started by her rival Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Parker-Bowles, the wife of Prince Charles, has reportedly been angling for a spot on the throne for years and has been plotting against Elizabeth.

And Elizabeth has in turn reportedly aligned with Kate Middleton against Parker-Bowles, with a tabloid claiming that Elizabeth is ready to bribe Camilla in order to remove her from the family. 

“The 88 year old ailing Monarch drew up a plan pledging $50 million of her personal cash and a $10 million estate as a divorce settlement for 65 year old Charles’ scheming second wife,” Globe magazine reported in late September. The magazine also alleged that Elizabeth has aides shopping for a private island that she can exile Camilla to after the divorce goes through.

The latest issue of Globe claims that the Queen, who is 88 years old, has been suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

“The palace is desperately trying to hide the new health crisis Queen Elizabeth is facing–the 88-year-old monarch is reportedly showing the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease,” the magazine reported in the cover story of its October 20 edition.

Elizabeth has been found wandering “lost and confused” in the palace garden, the tabloid claims. She also can’t remember the wedding of Kate and William, and she has mistaken her son Prince Charles for her husband Prince Philip, it says. And Camilla is trying to trick the Queen into making Prince Charles her successor instead of Prince William.
