King Charles III might hold the title, but his wife, Queen Camilla, has a soft but effective power behind the throne.
Queen Camilla plays a decisive hand in King Charles’s actions, whether about the kingdom, his health, or his family. Prince Harry is still learning how intensely Queen Camilla is protective of King Charles.
The Duke of Sussex is also discovering the hefty price he must pay for disrespecting his stepmother, which includes strained family relationships and limited access to his father.
Prince Harry, who recently traveled to London, had one specific mission — to meet with his father — but that did not happen.
King Charles bluntly told Prince Harry that his cancer treatment and the affairs of the monarchy created a schedule that was too busy for him to be penciled in.
Prince Harry’s recent visit to London was a desperate attempt to bridge the growing gap between him and his father, a struggle that has intensified after he and his wife, Meghan Markle, made controversial statements about the Royal Family.
Prince Harry also wrote a book, Spare, where he disparaged Queen Camilla by revealing that she was power-hungry and destroyed his parents’ marriage.
It has now been revealed that Queen Camilla had a hand in Prince Harry’s inability to spend time with his father.
According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, who spoke to Us Weekly, Queen Camilla put her foot down over the recent face-to-face in her effort to preserve her husband’s health and sanity.
He explained: “I see Camilla’s fine hand behind the freeze-out. She’s focused on her husband’s health, and injecting Harry into the equation will only cause more turmoil. Charles’ avoidance of Harry does seem a little callous … the late Queen Elizabeth said she wanted Harry to be considered part of the family, always.”
A royal source explained to Us Weekly that Queen Camilla does not hide the fact that she is not a fan of Prince Harry and will go the extra mile to limit his interaction with the cancer-stricken King.
A person in the know spoke to the publication and the media outlet reported: “Camilla dislikes Harry and doesn’t want Charles to get stressed while he’s undergoing treatment, so she tries to limit interaction,” says a source. Charles, meanwhile, is holding out hope of salvaging their relationship but is hugely conflicted because Harry has hurt William and Camilla so much.”
The insider concluded by saying: “Harry has also been hurt.”
Prince Harry is facing many obstacles in his plan to reconcile with his father.
