There is sure to be some heated family tension at King Charles’ coronation on Saturday with the presence of Prince Harry and Queen Consort Camilla.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, published his tell-all memoir “Spare” earlier this year, in which he made some eyebrow-raising comments about his stepmother, 75.
Ahead of the crowning on May 6, royal expert Nick Bullen claimed that Camilla is hellbent and “furious” about the statements Harry made in his book.
“I know from various people who are close to her [that] she was pretty furious with what was being said about her,” the True Royalty co-founder told Fox News recently.
“But she is not someone that is going to be phoning Harry or [wife] Meghan [Markle] and shouting down on the phone at them,” Bullen went on.
In “Spare,” the Invictus Games founder alleges that Camilla leaked stories to the press about him and the rest of the royal family.
He also penned that he “begged” Charles not to marry her, as Harry believed that she would turn into his “wicked stepmother.”
“The book was full of bomb-like moments that were going off in the palaces around Britain,” said Bullen.
“For the king and [William,] the Prince of Wales, the comments that Harry made about their wives, about Camilla and Kate [Middleton], I think were the most hurtful for the royal family. You can fight with your brother, you can fight with your dad, but really should you be throwing brickbats at your sister-in-law and stepmother? And particularly when they’re not going to be able to respond? So, I think those were the ones that hurt the most.”
Charles and Camilla infamously had a decades-long affair while he was married to Princess Diana and she was married to Andrew Parker Bowles.
Camilla and the new king finally tied the knot in 2005, with Harry and William by their side.
Bullen added that Camilla just “moves on,” but won’t necessarily “forgive” Harry.
“I don’t think she’s necessarily going to forget. But it is not something that she dwells on, I’m told,” he explained.
He noted that Camilla is playing a “much longer game” and was “annoyed by what was said but moved on pretty quickly.”
During his promotional tour for “Spare,” Harry elaborated on his claims about “villain” Camilla in a “60 Minutes” interview with Anderson Cooper.
The father of two stated that she desperately wanted to rehabilitate her image from being seen as an evil figure in the British media.
Harry said: “That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press.”
“There was open willingness on both sides to trade 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,” he continued.
