King Charles and Prince Harry's relationship appears to be at an all-time low, and Queen Camilla has her own take on the situation.
The Duke of Sussex has made no secret of his distaste for his stepmother, particularly in his biography Spare, in which he described her as a 'evil stepmother' and a 'villain'. As soon as the book hit the stores, the Sussexes received a notice of eviction from their Frogmore Cottage.
According to insiders, Charles was enraged that Harry had insulted Camilla in such a way. As the schism persists, Harry openly pleaded for reconciliation with his family during a BBC interview, noting that his cancer-stricken father is not speaking to him.
According to a People Magazine insider, the King is unlikely to make the first step because he is "not surrounded by voices encouraging reconciliation".
The insider said that Prince William, who was also disparaged in Spare, has no desire to reconcile with his estranged brother.
Camilla "stays out" of Charles' conflict with his son. Despite this, she may offer enough bullets to utterly eliminate Harry.
According to royal author Sally Bedell Smith, the King and William "don't trust Harry and Meghan with any kind of confidential conversation".
The news follows allegations that Harry intended to relinquish his family name Mountbatten-Windsor - a name that the King, like his father, Prince Philip, is proud of - and adopt the name Spencer.
However, Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, recommended against it.
At this time, it is unlikely that Charles will be able to reconcile with his son. Furthermore, recent events and the BBC interview appear to have widened the gap between them.
According to royal analyst Valentine Low, "It wasn't intended to be an assault, but it was seen as one. "It makes Charles reach out even harder."
