Kate Middleton is undergoing “planned” stomach surgery, and King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer, so all eyes are on the Firm.
However, what drew a lot of interest was Harry’s visit to Britain. When Harry learned of his father’s sickness, he flew to his country.
According to the media, it was Charles himself who informed Harry of his cancer.
He and Charles were said to have met, but the meeting was cut short because Charles was about to take a helicopter ride to the royal estate of Sandringham, where he rests between treatments, and Harry was supposedly not allowed to accompany.
We don’t know what the father and son discussed. However, it is now evident that Harry’s visit did not pave the way for any future peace talks, as many had hoped.
Prince William was believed to have no intention of meeting with his brother, and according to Radar Online, Camilla was upset that Harry met Charles without the Palace’s agreement.
“Her Majesty was furious Harry flew in from his ritzy California home without getting palace approval — and came with an attitude,” a source is said to have told the National Enquirer.
According to the same report, Harry asked Camilla to leave the room so that he could talk to his father privately.
“I’m told Camilla was outraged,” the source went on. “She’s taken a lot of bile from Harry for years and couldn’t wait to let him have it.”
The relationship between Harry and Camilla has been tumultuous from the start. He mentioned her in the past, and she was not spared in his narrative. Neither were spared.
Harry revealed in his memoir that he and his brother pleaded with their father not to marry Camilla.
“Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” Harry wrote in Spare. “We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”
He also wrote that he had wondered if Camilla would be “just as cruel to him as all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” and that William “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”
Previously, during media interviews, Harry accused his stepmother of leaking stories to the British media in order to improve her public image. Furthermore, he claimed that the media depicted her as a ‘villain’ since they thought she was to blame for Charles and Diana’s failed marriage.
“That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press. And there was open willingness on both sides to trade of information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her, on the way to being Queen Consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left in the street because of that,” Harry said.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Harry admitted that he hasn’t spoken to his father’s wife in a long time.
“I love every member of my family, despite the differences, so when I see her, we’re perfectly pleasant with each other,” he said.
“She’s my stepmother. I don’t look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake.”
According to royal expert Angela Levin, Camilla feels the same and she isn’t much interested in a relationship with Harry either.
“The Duchess always felt quite wary of Harry and used to see him out of the corner of her eye looking at her in a long and cold way. She found it rather unnerving. Otherwise, they got on quite well,” Levin writes in her new book Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort.
As of Harry’s latest visit, the source continued: “Camilla has taken it all on the chin, but using her husband’s cancer as a ‘loving son’ PR stunt was the last straw.
“After the father-son reunion, I hear she told Harry he’s a disgrace to his father, the family and the monarchy — and she left no doubt he isn’t wanted back!”
