The royal family is facing a deepening rift following the explosive memoir, “Spare,” written by Prince Harry. According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the portrayal of the royal family in the book was far from flattering, causing tensions to escalate between Harry and his brother, Prince William. The book also reportedly contained personal attacks on Queen Camilla, which infuriated King Charles and led to the eviction of the Sussexes from Frogmore, their base in Britain. This move reinforced the belief that Harry and Meghan were deemed untrustworthy by the royal family.
A source revealed to OK! that Queen Camilla is vehemently opposed to Harry returning to royal duties after the disparaging remarks made about her in the memoir. She sees Harry as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and believes that any interaction with him would only bring stress and drama into their lives. Camilla is focused on supporting King Charles during his cancer treatment and is wary of any situation that may cause him additional stress.
Despite King Charles’s inclination towards reconciliation, royal experts suggest that Prince William has imposed a strict ban on Harry’s return to the royal family fold. Grant Harrold, Charles’s former butler, expressed skepticism about a reconciliation between William and Harry unless the Duke of Sussex publicly expresses remorse for the contents of his memoir. Harrold believes that some families never fully mend their relationships after such rifts, and it appears unlikely that Harry will backtrack on his statements.
The ongoing tensions within the royal family underscore the challenges of navigating personal conflicts within the public eye. As the monarchy continues to grapple with the fallout from Harry’s memoir, the path to reconciliation remains uncertain.
