King Charles III will stay away from Prince Harry if his wife, Queen Camilla, has her way. She is asking her husband, the leader of the British royal family, to avoid the Duke of Sussex. This is creating a difficult situation for King Charles, caught between his wife and his younger son.
According to Us Weekly, Camilla has been asking King Charles to stay away from Harry. This has made things hard for the King, as he’s trying to balance everything. A source said Camilla doesn’t like Harry and wants Charles to avoid stress during his treatment. So she tries to limit how much they see each other.
The King, who was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024, returned to work in April 2024. Despite everything, he hopes to mend his relationship with Harry. But he’s struggling because Harry has hurt William and Camilla deeply. At the same time, Harry feels hurt too.
Camilla was upset by Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix series, according to another source. The show made her very angry. When “Spare” aired, Camilla was sad about what was said about her. It left her feeling heartbroken and confused.
Royal biographer Christopher Andersen believes Camilla is influencing King Charles to keep his distance from Harry, especially as Charles focuses on his health. Andersen describes Charles’ actions towards Harry as somewhat insensitive. He also mentions that Queen Elizabeth II wanted Harry to always be considered part of the family.
Andersen notes that both Harry and his brother, Prince William, have long-held resentment towards Camilla. They opposed Charles remarrying after Princess Diana’s death and were reluctant to accept Camilla into their lives. Andersen explains that their resentment stems from Camilla’s role in their parents’ marriage and Charles breaking promises related to Camilla becoming queen.
Regarding Harry’s public remarks about Camilla, including in the documentary “Spare,” these continue to upset King Charles. An insider mentioned that Charles feels protective of Camilla and finds it hard to forgive those who have criticized her.
Royal author Tom Quinn has mentioned that Charles has discussed the possibility of visiting the United States to spend time with Harry and his grandchildren, who live in California since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are parents to two children, Archie, who is 5 years old, and Lilibet, who is 3. The kids have reportedly only seen King Charles once in person since their parents, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, stepped back from their royal roles.
King Charles has traveled privately to various countries, including an unpublicized visit to Transylvania to oversee his rental properties. There’s speculation he might make a discreet visit to see Harry and the children in California because he’s eager to have a warm relationship with them and fears they might not remember him that way.
However, such a visit is considered unlikely due to logistical challenges. It would also depend on Harry assuring his father there won’t be any more books or interviews that could cause embarrassment.
According to royal author Tom Quinn, Queen Camilla supports the idea of King Charles getting closer to all his grandchildren, including those in the United States.
