The royal family is experiencing mounting tension as Queen Camilla, 75, is said to be infuriated by her husband King Charles' decision to invite their son Prince Harry to the coronation, according to sources close to the palace. This disagreement between the royal couple has reportedly caused discord within the monarchy at a time when it faces significant backlash.
A palace insider stated that Camilla aligns with Prince William's view that King Charles' invitation to Harry was a sign of weakness. Instead, she believes that Harry and Meghan should have been banished from the kingdom to send a strong message that their perceived betrayal will not be tolerated. The source added that Queen Camilla feels this decision has negatively impacted the royal couple's popularity.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, 74-year-old King Charles is already under immense stress and is growing increasingly impatient with his demanding wife. The source revealed that he considers Camilla's behavior to be disruptive and disrespectful, and he is weary of having his decisions questioned and undermined.
Even the palace staff has taken notice of the escalating tension between the royal couple, with the insider noting that Charles and Camilla argue frequently and have grown short-tempered with their staff.
King Charles has reportedly been on edge since assuming the throne, with his frustration manifesting in an incident involving a leaking pen shortly after Queen Elizabeth's passing in September.
Adding fuel to the fire, Queen Camilla is allegedly irate about being targeted by Prince Harry in his controversial memoir, Spare. In the book, Harry, 38, accuses Camilla of leaking stories about him to the press in an effort to improve her public image.
Harry wrote, "I have complex feelings about gaining a stepparent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR alter." According to the source, Camilla is incredulous that King Charles would still extend an invitation to Harry and Meghan after the damaging allegations made in Harry's book.
