Prince Harry 'resented' Camilla for turning his bedroom into dressing room, claims author

A new book claims to unpick the difficult relationship Prince Harry shares with his step-mother Camilla.

Journalist Tina Brown, who was good friends with Diana, writes that the Duke of Sussex "can't stand" his father's second wife and "resents" her.

In The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor, the Truth and the Turmoil, which goes on sale next month, she writes that their already tense bond was made worse by Camilla's decision to make some changes at the home she shares with Charles.

She reportedly changed Harry's old bedroom at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire into her dressing room.

Brown claims Camilla is the perfect match for Charles and describes her as the "horse whisperer of his emotional needs."

She goes on to discuss the difficulties the Duchess encountered when she first met his sons, Prince William and Prince Harry.

Both boys had been well aware of his father's infidelities and knew the details of his affair with Camilla while he was still married to their mum, Diana.

When the brothers finally relented and prevailed to meet Camilla, Brown reveals that Harry "unnerved her with long silences and smouldering resentful stares."

It is further said that Prince William remained "guarded", whereas his brother was "outright sullen".

In a previous interview with The Telegraph, Brown spoke about The Queen's decision to support Camilla's right to be titled as Queen Consort when the time comes and what Harry thought of it.

She revealed that Harry is “angry” at the decision, saying: “William has accepted Camilla in terms of what she means to his father. He’s been grown-up about it. ‘My father loves this woman, I can’t fight it, so I won’t.’

“Harry, on the other hand, can’t stand Camilla. He doesn’t want Camilla to be queen, he’s very angry that it’s happening.

"He has not made his peace with it and he probably never will.”
