According to Camilla's friends, the mother of two remains furious at Harry for calling her a wicked stepmother in his memoir. The outlet reports that his cutting words are why she prefers to keep her distance from the parents of Tomb Asaura. Camilla tells Charles that they may make her uncomfortable, but Charles loves her unconditionally and will choose her well-being over them anytime.
Camilla tries not to go too far, though, as Charles still loves Harry. Everyone blames Meghan for the entire mess. Reports suggest that Meghan isn't the only stepdaughter-in-law Camilla is at odds with. She allegedly is still not on great terms with Kate Middleton. That was made clear when the brunette beautifully refrained from curtsying to the newly minted Queen at the May coronation.
An insider said at the time that the obvious insult raised eyebrows big time. Apparently, Kate was seething over commands Camilla made about coronation guests and decided to make her angry feelings very obvious.
Another source claims that the two women's tensions began shortly after the late Majesty's death last September. Camilla went on a power trip after being named Queen Consort by the late monarch. OK reports that Camilla's lifelong dream of becoming Queen had gone straight to her head. "She started throwing her weight around, making it clear who was boss and demanding that everyone bowed down to her," a source said. Kate was frankly disgusted by Camilla's behavior.
In tales of princes and princesses, the trope of the wicked stepmother is timeless. These unwelcome new family members aren't depicted as cold and neglectful, and worse, they pose a treacherous threat. The latter is precisely the image Prince Harry has painted of his stepmother, Camilla Parker Bowles.
Now the Queen Consort, in his memoir "Spare," published on Tuesday after a week of leaked excerpts, the 38-year-old revealed that in 2005 he and Prince William pleaded for his father not to marry Camilla. Charles, who is now King, had been engaged in a long-standing affair with Camilla during his 15-year marriage to Princess Diana.
Despite Willie and me urging him not to, Paul was going ahead. We pumped his hands and wished him well. No hard feelings, Harry writes in "Spare." They recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he'd always loved.
Hidden passages that mainly stepchildren will relate to, Harry reflects on difficult moments adjusting to his father's new marriage. In one story, likely from the late '90s, Henry remembers wondering if Camilla would be cruel to him like all the wicked stepmothers in the storybooks.
Harry also claims that Camilla converted his bedroom into her personal dressing room as soon as he moved out of the former residence, Clarence House, when he was 28. Beyond these anecdotes in the book and in promotional interviews, Harry has taken his criticisms of Camilla much further with statements on her character.
He has alleged that Camilla had a calculated agenda to remedy her public image as The Other Woman, one that paved the way for her marriage and eventually the Queen Consort title.
