Spare Memoir Deepens Royal Rift as Camilla Opposes Harry’s Return to the Fold
Prince Harry's harsh criticism of Queen Camilla in his memoir, Spare, has validated King Charles's longstanding concerns about the Sussexes, according to royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams. The book, released in January 2023, took aim at several senior royals, further escalating tensions within the family.
Harry's strained relationship with his stepmother reached a new low with his portrayal of her in Spare, where he referred to her as a "wicked stepmother." The scathing remarks reportedly left the Royal Family feeling that Harry and Meghan could no longer be trusted.
Fitzwilliams noted that the memoir’s depiction of the royals was "far from flattering," highlighting how it has deepened the rift between Harry and Prince William, who are said to no longer be on speaking terms. The attacks on Camilla particularly outraged King Charles, prompting him to evict the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage, their UK residence.
Insiders claim that Harry and Meghan's criticisms have only reinforced the Royal Family's perception that the couple is untrustworthy. Adding to the friction, sources report that Queen Camilla is firmly against any potential reconciliation with Harry, even for a casual visit. "Not everyone supports the idea, but Camilla is firmly against any sort of return for Harry," an insider stated, underscoring the deepening divide within the family.
The fallout from Spare has not only widened the rift between Harry and his brother but also complicated any efforts toward reconciliation, leaving the Royal Family more divided than ever.
