According to recent reports, Queen Camilla has managed to drive a wedge between King Charles and his “darling” Prince Harry. A source close to the royal family has revealed that the Duke of Sussex and his family have been excluded from the guest list for an upcoming royal event.
The Express reports that Harry and Meghan have not been invited to join the Royal Family at Balmoral this summer, a decision reportedly made by King Charles himself. This decision is also thought to be influenced by Camilla, who has not forgiven Harry for labelling her an “evil stepmother” in his explosive memoir, “Spare”, and for making scathing accusations against her.
“The King was very keen to keep everyone happy during their stay at Balmoral this year,” the source said. “Charles and Kate have been through a very difficult year so it was time for everyone to come together to celebrate the progress made and stay positive.”
The source added: “Charles is also very protective of his wife Queen Camilla so he wanted to make sure everyone was comfortable with the plans laid out for Balmoral this summer.”
The decision highlights the tensions within the Royal Family, particularly between Harry and the rest of the royal family. While King Charles aims to foster a harmonious atmosphere at Balmoral, the exclusion of the Sussexes highlights the rift that has been created, influenced by past grievances and current dynamics.
Despite the exclusion, King Charles is said to still be keen to build a better relationship with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The source noted: “Charles really wants to build a better relationship with Archie and Lili and spend quality time with them.”
However, given the current tensions, the possibility of the Sussexes joining the family later in the summer remains uncertain. The most likely scenario, according to the source, is that King Charles will stay in touch with his grandchildren via Skype calls to ensure he remains connected to their lives.
This decision by King Charles reflects the delicate balance between maintaining family harmony and addressing the complex relationships and past conflicts within the Royal Family.
