King Charles’ ‘brutal’ decision after Prince Harry crossed ‘red line’

King Charles and Prince Harry’s father-son relationship went down the drain as the Duke released his Spare memoir. Among many shocking revelations, he attacked Camilla, calling her the “wicked stepmother,” which made Charles furious. The red line was crossed – and his father responded with a brutal decision.

In January 2023, about three years after he and Meghan Markle left the royal family, Prince Harry released his bombshell memoir, Spare. He made several allegations against his Royal Family members in the book, but some took it harder on his father, King Charles, than others; the things he wrote about his love, Queen Camilla.

For example, Harry revealed in his book that he and William had pleaded with their father not to marry Camilla.

“Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” Harry wrote in Spare. “We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”

Moreover, as many stepchildren worldwide can relate, Harry also wrote about how difficult it was to adjust to the fact that his father had married a new woman. The Prince revealed he had asked himself if Camilla would be “just as cruel to him as all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” adding that William “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

Moreover, Harry even claimed that Camilla redesigned his bedroom into her private dressing room when he, at age 28, moved to Clarence House. Though Harry didn’t write too much about his stepmother in Spare, he spoke plenty about Camilla in the interviews leading up to the book.

King Charles made ‘brutal’ decision when Harry crossed ‘red line’

Harry accused Camilla of leaking stories about the family to the British media, which he claimed was a part of her campaign to “rehabilitate her image.” The Duke also claimed Camilla was “dangerous” as she had been cast as a “villain” by the British media because she had a part in Charles and Diana’s collapsed marriage.

Prince Harry’s attacks on Queen Camilla didn’t go well with King Charles. He felt Harry had crossed a ‘red line,’ and decided to act. At the time, the couple had their UK base of Frogmore Cottage.

Palace insiders claimed that Charles made a rapid decision after receiving a briefing from his advisers on the explosive book. and went on to evict Harry and Meghan from Frogmore.

“It was the last straw. Harry was well aware how Camilla would be a red line for his father and he crossed with flagrant disregard anyway,” they told the Express. “The King felt without a doubt it crossed a line – it was the ultimate act of disrespect.”

According to royal expert and author Omid Scobie, King Charles was “spitting mad” over Harry’s book, which surely played a role in the prince’s eviction. The relationship between Harry and his family has also reached “an all-time low,” Scobie wrote.

Harry & Meghan’s friend called it “cruel punishment”

Meanwhile, news of them getting the boot has left “at least two members of the royal family appalled.” Sources close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle previously claimed the couple were “stunned” by the decision.

“Harry and Meghan have until early summer to vacate,” a source told Scobie, reporting for Yahoo. “Initially, they were given just weeks, but now they have at least until after the coronation.”

“It all feels very final and like a cruel punishment,” a friend of Harry and Meghan’s added. “It’s like [the family] wants to cut them out of the picture for good.”
