Prince Harry's strained relationship with his stepmother, Queen Camilla, seems to continue, as reported by a close friend of the Queen. During his brief 24-hour visit to London last week to see his cancer-stricken father, King Charles III, Harry apparently didn't want to be in the same room as Camilla. In a column for The Telegraph, Camilla's friend, Petronella Wyatt, revealed that Harry 'preferred not to be in the same room with his stepmother when he spoke to the King about his cancer diagnosis.'
This reported avoidance of Camilla by Harry is seen as a missed opportunity to extend an olive branch, according to Wyatt. She believes that Harry's feelings towards Camilla were already made clear in his explosive memoir, 'Spare,' where he referred to her as 'dangerous' and 'the villain.' In the book, Harry expressed his complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who he believed had betrayed him for her own personal gain. He accused her of leaking stories about the family to boost her popularity.
