Details of the serious misstep committed by Prince Harry can currently be read in the British "Daily Express". However, the faux pas did not occur in private behind thick palace walls, but was aired in public. When Prince Harry published his memoirs titled "Spare" in early 2023, he settled scores with numerous relatives from the royal family.
It was just one of many verbal attacks that Prince Harry launched against his family, after he voluntarily left the British royal family at the beginning of 2020 and moved to North America with his wife Meghan Markle and their then few months old son Archie. In "Spare", Prince Harry not only took aim at his brother Prince William and his father King Charles III., but also gave Queen Camilla a verbal lashing. The Queen Consort, who has been married to King Charles III. since April 2005 and previously caused a stir as the lover of the then heir to the throne, has never been in good standing with Charles' younger son Harry.
The now 39-year-old royal son saw Camilla Parker Bowles, as the current queen was known before her marriage to Charles, as the embodiment of evil that ruined the marriage of his parents Princess Diana and Prince Charles and made his mother's life difficult. Initially, Camilla was not particularly popular with many royal fans, but the tide has since turned: Over the years, Queen Camilla has won the sympathies of royal fans near and far and is today not only one of the most popular members of the royal house, but also an indispensable support for King Charles III. The British monarch has undoubtedly found his late love happiness with Camilla, after his 1981 marriage to Lady Diana Spencer ended first in separation in 1992 and finally in divorce four years later. However, even though King Charles III. and Queen Camilla have already celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary, Prince Harry still harbors intense resentment against his stepmother - and expressed this extensively in his memoirs.
What Prince Harry wrote between the covers of "Spare" did not escape King Charles III.'s notice and must have sent his blood pressure soaring. For King Charles III. may forgive many things, but he draws the line at attacks on Queen Camilla - he has fought too long for his love to tolerate attacks on the queen consort. This is how Christopher Andersen, the author of books such as "The King. The Life of Charles III.", puts it. Speaking to "Fox News", Andersen said: Even Prince Harry should not hope that his father will forgive him and welcome him back into his arms anytime soon. Prince Harry is currently experiencing the consequences firsthand: reportedly, the Duke of Sussex has been trying to reconcile with his royal relatives and to be allowed to return to the family fold about four years after the so-called Megxit from the royal house - so far without any notable success. According to the "Daily Express", all of Prince Harry's requests for peace talks have gone unanswered from the palace - and Prince Harry must resign himself to Christopher Andersen's assessment that he is now "on his own".
