King Charles and Queen Camilla are reportedly divided over how to handle Prince Harry ahead of his expected return to the UK, with fresh claims suggesting tensions behind palace walls.
Uncertainty Surrounds Harry’s Upcoming UK Visit
There is still speculation over whether Prince Harry will meet with his father, King Charles, during his anticipated visit to Britain in the coming weeks.
At this stage, neither Buckingham Palace nor the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed whether a reunion is planned.
Conflicting reports have also emerged regarding whether Meghan Markle will accompany Harry, along with their children, Archie and Lilibet.
According to recent claims, Harry’s continuing concerns over police security remain one of the biggest obstacles influencing the family’s travel plans.
Meanwhile, the broader relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family is said to have become strained once again, with recent reports indicating that any progress made toward reconciliation may have stalled.
Queen Camilla Reportedly Opposes Any Softer Approach
According to Closer, Queen Camilla has become increasingly vocal behind the scenes, making it clear that she believes easing tensions with Harry would be the wrong move.
An insider told the publication: “Most of the time Camilla bites her tongue and lets William lead the anti-Sussex lobbying.
But there are certain instances where she does speak up, and this summer trip is one of them.
She’s letting everyone know that she feels any sort of leniency towards the Sussexes is a grave mistake.
As far as she’s concerned Charles needs to stop being naive and see them for the threat that they are.
She can’t even fathom that he could possibly forgive Harry for what he and Meghan said about them in their Oprah interview, let alone what he wrote about them in Spare.”
The reported concerns surfaced after King Charles expressed support for the upcoming Invictus Games.
A source explained: “Like the rest of the royal family, His Majesty believes that Invictus is a very worthy cause.
He hopes that the Games will be a big success for Birmingham next year and is aware that a lot of taxpayers’ money has been spent on it.”
Support for Invictus Allegedly Sparked Fresh Concerns
Another insider claimed that the King’s comments marked a shift that left Camilla worried.
According to the source, she had believed Charles had accepted that efforts to repair his relationship with Harry had come to an end following events in the United States.
However, his renewed interest in supporting the Invictus Games reportedly changed her perspective.
The insider said: “She thought it was settled after America, that Charles was letting this ridiculous need to reconcile with Harry go but then he started saying that he wants to lend his support to Invictus; that it’s a worthwhile cause and he should be making an effort.
Not surprisingly, that has set Camilla’s alarm bells ringing and she’s warning Charles that whenever Harry and Meghan are given an inch, they inevitably take a mile.”
Buckingham Palace has been approached for comment regarding the reported claims, but no official response has been issued.
