Queen Camilla‘s reported stance toward Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has emerged as the Sussexes prepare for an extended return to the UK. The development follows their quiet but significant reunion with King Charles and Camilla at Highgrove House, the monarch’s private Gloucestershire residence, last month.
Here’s what Queen Camilla reportedly did for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during King Charles’ meeting
Despite being targeted in Prince Harry‘s memoir “Spare,” Queen Camilla is said to have shown generosity during their recent meeting. The Queen Consort featured in several of the Duke’s claims in the book, which was released in 2023.
In “Spare,” Harry reportedly referred to Her Majesty more than 60 times, calling her “the Other Woman” and his “wicked stepmother.” The remarks were reportedly deeply upsetting to King Charles. Hence, ahead of the Sussexes’ return to Britain, critics have called for a firm stance to be taken against them.
Yet, according to the Daily Mail, the Queen reportedly greeted Prince Harry warmly with a smile and offered him tea during their private family gathering in Gloucestershire. The gesture of goodwill is said to have eased some of the Sussexes’ concerns about returning to the UK.
However, the report suggested that a similarly warm reception may be unlikely from Prince William and Kate Middleton. The heir to the throne remains estranged from his brother following a series of accusations Harry has made against the Waleses, Charles, and Camilla since the “Megxit” crisis in 2020.
Amid reports of their return, the Sussexes have reportedly already enrolled Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in UK schools. For security and privacy reasons, the names and exact locations of the schools have not been disclosed. However, major outlets have reported that the couple are preparing a private, non-royal residence in the countryside outside London, with the Cotswolds and surrounding Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire areas reportedly among their preferred locations.
Despite their plans to spend an extended period in the UK, Harry and Meghan are expected to maintain strong ties to the US. The couple will reportedly continue to keep their residences in California and also in Portugal.
