Prince Harry's relationship with Queen Camilla has never been an easy one, and fresh details suggest things could get even harder for him. Insiders now say Camilla might turn into the very obstacle that keeps Harry from getting closer to his father, King Charles.
A source close to the family says King Charles is currently pushing back against more than just Camilla — he's also facing resistance from his elder son, who appears to have teamed up with Camilla out of shared frustration with Harry. The idea seems to be that they're united simply because they both have issues with him.
Speaking to Heat magazine, the insider explained that anyone who stands in the King's way ends up on his bad side, and Camilla is well aware of this. Because of that, she's chosen to stay firmly by his side, allowing her to support his decisions while still keeping a watchful eye on how things unfold.
That doesn't mean she's staying silent, though. The source added that Camilla will still speak her mind whenever something feels off to her, and she's not likely to miss any mistakes along the way. While Charles himself may be leaning toward forgiveness, Camilla reportedly isn't in the same headspace.
On his end, Harry is said to be approaching the situation carefully, fully aware of where things stand between him and Camilla. Even though it's been a while since his memoir Spare came out, the book's revelations — including claims that he and Prince William once pleaded with their father not to marry Camilla — haven't been forgotten. Word is she still hasn't let that go.
Despite this tension, the source says Harry understands he needs Camilla on his side if he wants to make real progress with his father. He's reportedly eager for King Charles to attend the upcoming Invictus Games, and having Camilla's support would make that far easier to arrange, which is why he's extended an invitation to her as well.
The source wrapped up by pointing out that Harry doesn't need to be fond of Camilla to acknowledge her influence — both over his father and with the British public. She has carved out a solid, well-liked position for herself, and Harry reportedly knows better than to risk pushing her away.
