Prince Harry’s actions following his departure from his family have affected his relationship with the Firm. In an attempt to protect his wife from the pressure and the scrutiny from the British media and prevent the history from repeating itself, referring to his late mother, he and Meghan settled in California, but they didn’t stay silent or out of the limelight.

On the contrary, both Harry and Meghan were eager to share details about the members of the British royalty and gave a number of interviews in which they revealed plenty of things that were taking place behind closed doors.

Among the rest, Harry opened up about his step-mother, Queen Camilla. In his all-tell memoir, Spare, Harry wrote that his first meeting with Camilla was “awkward and tense,” adding that his brother William had “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

“I think the relationship between them all is warm now but if I’m honest, it wasn’t then. I think they found it hard,” a palace source told royal biographer Penny Junor, author of Prince William: Born to be King. “To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mummy but she was the ‘other woman’ and she was there and taking daddy’s time.”

The relationship between William and Camilla improved significantly over the years and they are said to be close, which can’t be said for Harry’s relationship with his father’s wife.

In her book The Palace Papers, royal author Tina Brown wrote that Harry “unnerved” Camilla.

“When the younger boy was eventually prevailed upon to be in the presence of Mrs Parker Bowles, he unnerved her with long silences and smouldering, resentful stares,” she quoted a courtier saying.

“William has accepted Camilla in terms of what she means to his father. He’s been grown-up about it.

“My father loves this woman, I can’t fight it, so I won’t,” Brown shared with Telegraph.

“Harry, on the other hand, can’t stand Camilla, he doesn’t want Camilla to be Queen, he’s very angry that it’s happening. He has not made his peace with it, and he probably never will.”

When Harry was informed of his father’s cancer diagnosis, he went to Britain and the two met briefly. Camilla, however, was said to be unhappy with her step-son meeting her husband without the Palace’s approval.

“Her Majesty was furious Harry flew in from his ritzy California home without getting palace approval — and came with an attitude,” a source is said to have told the National Enquirer, via RadarOnline.

The same report stated that Harry asked from Camilla to leave the room because he wanted to talk to his father in private.

“I’m told Camilla was outraged,” the source went on. “She’s taken a lot of bile from Harry for years and couldn’t wait to let him have it.”

Harry’s writings about Camilla enraged Charles and further affected the relationship between them.

“I think people have to realize that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla,” royal expert Christopher Andersen told Fox.

“There’s no criticism of Camilla,” Andersen added. “And unfortunately for Harry… Harry said some pretty devastating things about her. He made it clear that he felt she was… the villain in the piece. I think that still bothers the king, and I don’t know that it will be easy for him to [forgive]. I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.”

Following Charles’ cancer diagnosis, Camilla stepped in and took a lot of responsibilities regarding royal engagements. She certainly doesn’t want Charles to be distracted, and one of those distractions is Prince Harry.

“Camilla dislikes Harry and doesn’t want Charles to get stressed while he’s undergoing treatment, so she tries to limit interaction,” a source told OK Magazine.

One thing is certain, the feud between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals is still ongoing. We are yet to witness if things between them would improve in the time to come.
