Queen Camilla’s ‘elevated position’ is hard for Prince Harry, says royal expert

Jeremy Vine caller weighs in on Prince Harry UK security debate

Queen Camilla is the most senior working royal with King Charles taking a break from public-facing events and that’s probably hard for Prince Harry “to digest,” says one royal insider.

To Di for Daily host Kinsey Schofield recently appeared on GB News to talk about how Queen Camilla is taking on more responsibility.

She said: “I think the fact that Queen Camilla is seen as leading the family is significant proof that Prince Harry would not return to temporarily support the family because Camilla’s elevated position is likely something not sitting well with him right now.

“He loved Queen Elizabeth II, he likely resents the idea of Queen Camilla, and we know, he felt like that’s a position his mother should be in,” referring to the late Princess Diana.

“I imagine, the idea of her leading the family is something he has a hard time digesting.”

Camilla is taking this week off to be with Charles as he undergoes cancer treatment. She has carried out 13 solo engagements since his prognosis and according to royal author Tom Quinn, she’d like to be at home with her husband, and the feelings are mutual.

Ms Schofield gives an update: “Camilla has been working overtime to support the monarchy, just last month, she reportedly drove over six hours to a royal engagement after her flight was grounded because she reportedly didn’t want to let down her husband.”

She adds: “A source told the Times, although she was not expecting to find herself in the position of leading the family, the queen is absolutely prepared to do what needs to be done for the institution.”

While Camilla is getting rave reviews from the press and the public, Harry is not a fan, suggests The Telegraph’s Petronella Wyatt in her column.

Ms Wyatt does a sort of inventory, going over what’s causing such animosity, landing on envy.

She writes: “Like most forms of hatred it seems based on envy; envy of the fact that his father’s marriage to Camilla is, as he has publicly conceded in the past, ‘very happy,’ and envy, perhaps, of the humorous and invaluable support she will give him now.”

She adds: “Harry seems to have a problem with other people’s happiness, and has spent the past year trying to make his closest relatives miserable. He has a suspicion of anyone with a superior capacity for having a good time. Was Camilla wretched in her marriage, he would doubtless rush to embrace her and assure the public of his friendship.”
