Prince Harry didn’t take kindly to Queen Camilla in his blasphemous memoir “Spare”. At the coronation, he must reckon with a tit-for-tat.
LONDON – Only after delicate negotiations, which were described as a “transatlantic ping-pong game”, did Buckingham Palace announce that Prince Harry (38) will attend the coronation in Westminster Abbey on May 6 – without Megan Markle (41), Archie (3) and Lilibet, (1) who remain in California. The couple had delayed responding to the invitation for weeks, creating additional problems for organizers who had to deal with complex seating plans, transportation and security for senior members of the royal family, heads of state and other dignitaries.
Prince Harry expects a frosty reception at the coronation in May
For Prince Harry, getting together with his family after the release of his memoir Spare will not be a walk in the park, on the contrary, the royals will not be interested in speaking to Harry beyond the simplest of greetings. Apart from this embarrassment, his brother Prince William probably does not intend to exchange a word with his younger brother after violent attacks, except for his cousins Princess Eugenie (33) and Princess Beatrice (34), he will face cold and icy shoulders can hardly save looks. Current palace whispers are to be trusted, and things are going to be very awkward for the Duke of Sussex.
After the verbal low blows against his father and brother, it’s easy to forget that Prince Harry also publicly described the future Queen Camilla as “dangerous” and a “scoundrel” who “walks over corpses” when it comes to her image to brush up. There was no comment, but now a good friend of Camilla is reporting in the Sunday Times for the first time what was really going on in the Queen Consort. “It wasn’t stomping your feet or gnashing your teeth – it was more of an eye roll.” In the interview, Fiona, the Marchioness of Lansdowne (68), also revealed new details.
Transatlantic ping pong game
In “Spare,” Harry wrote of Camilla, “I have complex feelings about having a stepparent who I thought recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar.” He stated that his father’s wife leaked stories about the royal family, particularly Meghan, to the media to improve their image.
Harry also said that he and his brother William “begged” their father not to marry Camilla because they feared she would become their “wicked stepmother”.
In another blow, Harry called Camilla “dangerous” and a “scoundrel” who “leaves corpses in the streets” because she wants to change the public’s image of her.
Camilla was ‘hurt’ by Harry’s accusations: ‘Of course it bothers her, of course it hurts’
“Of course it bothers her, of course it hurts. But she won’t let it get to her. Her philosophy is always, don’t make a thing of it and it will go away,” she told Sunday Times. In 2022, Fiona was made consort to the reigning Queen. She is also godmother to Camilla’s daughter Laura Lopes, 45, and has been friends with the Queen since details of her relationship with Charles III were released in the 1990s. (74) became known.
She also attests to Camilla’s relaxed attitude towards her new title as Queen. Camilla “didn’t think in a million years that she would be queen. It was already scary when Camilla married Charles, but nothing she couldn’t handle. Once they were married, she knew what to expect,” says Fiona. Camilla herself has admitted that her relationship with the then-Prince of Wales has taken its toll. In an article celebrating her 75th birthday, she told the British Vogue: “It’s not easy. I’ve been scrutinized for so long that you just have to find a way to live with it.” That Prince Harry sees Camilla’s coronation from a completely different perspective should be clear.
