Prince Harry may face an uncomfortable choice if he wants more private time with King Charles. The Duke of Sussex reportedly believes Queen Camilla could be blocking another family visit after their summer meeting. A new source claimed his only option may be to “beg forgiveness” from his stepmother. The allegation followed Harry’s criticism of Camilla in his 2023 memoir “Spare.” Still, there is no public confirmation that the Queen restricted his access to the King.
Prince Harry will have to ask for Queen Camilla’s forgiveness to see King Charles, per source
As per a National Examiner report, Harry was reportedly frustrated. “It’s absolutely astounding to Harry” that another visit had not happened, the source claimed. The insider said “a number of people have quietly told him” that Queen Camilla was blocking him. However, no palace confirmation supported that allegation.
Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children reportedly visited King Charles and Camilla at Highgrove in August. The source said Camilla was “very welcoming” during that meeting. They added, “She acted as though it was all water under the bridge.” According to the insider, Harry believed “things would be grand between them all going forward.”
Meanwhile, the source linked the alleged tension to Harry’s 2023 memoir “Spare.” “It’s dawning on him that Camilla hasn’t really forgiven him,” the insider claimed. In the book, Harry accused his stepmother of sacrificing him on “her personal PR altar.” The allegation concerned her earlier efforts to improve her public image. Harry later publicly expressed “a huge amount of compassion” for Camilla while discussing those claims. Still, the Examiner insider alleged Harry and Meghan were “paying a huge price” over the dispute. They claimed Camilla was “getting her revenge by keeping them away from the king.” That allegation remains unverified.
More specifically, the insider claimed Harry now had only one route forward with Camilla. He may need to “go to Camilla and beg forgiveness,” according to the source. The insider said Harry “swore he would never do.” However, they added, “desperate times call for desperate measures.” The report therefore tied another Charles meeting to repairing the relationship with his stepmother first. Still, no official statement suggested Camilla controlled access to the monarch. For now, the reported demand for forgiveness came solely from the Examiner’s unnamed source.
