According to Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," Harry's decision to portray Queen Camilla as a "villain" in his book and reveal that he and his brother William had opposed their father's marriage to her has committed a "cardinal sin" in Charles' eyes.
Andersen warns that no one can criticize Camilla in royal circles and escape unscathed, even if they are the son of the king. Harry's actions have deeply offended his father and have further damaged their already fragile relationship.

This news comes shortly after People magazine reported a worsening estrangement between Harry and his father, who is battling an undisclosed form of cancer. Sources close to Harry claim that the monarch is not taking any of his son's calls and is not responding to his letters.
One of Harry's friends told the outlet that calls to the king go unanswered, even those related to his father's health. They allege that there has been "complete silence" from the king.

Sources also suggest that Harry's brother, Prince William, has aligned with his father, making any hope for reconciliation "distant at best." Palace insiders claim that Harry's memoir and public interviews have "compromised the family's trust in him."
However, those close to Harry maintain that once his security concerns are addressed, he is willing to put aside the ongoing feud. They argue that Harry needs proper security to provide for his family without resorting to public speaking for financial gain.

Andersen believes that Harry's memoir, published in 2023, has dealt a major blow to his father's relationship with him. Charles is said to be struggling to forgive Harry for his "gratuitous potshots" at Camilla, whom he regards with great affection.
In interviews promoting "Spare," Harry accused Camilla of leaking private conversations to the media to enhance her reputation. He alleged that members of the royal family had engaged in unsavory dealings with the tabloids, singling out Camilla's efforts to rehabilitate her image after her affair with Charles.

Harry's allegations were particularly sensitive due to Camilla's role in the breakdown of Charles' marriage to Princess Diana. The late princess famously referred to Camilla as the third person in their marriage.
While Camilla has initially faced public criticism, she has gradually gained acceptance through her charitable work and her efforts to modernize the royal family. Harry's attack on her has angered his father and has further strained their relationship.

As King Charles faces the challenges of his cancer battle, he is advised to prioritize his health and avoid engaging in the drama surrounding Harry and his family. Some royal experts speculate that palace aides may be intervening to shield the king from stress during his treatment.
Meanwhile, Harry continues to express a desire to reconcile with his father while emphasizing the importance of his family's security. However, peace talks between father and son may be difficult in the near future, with reports indicating that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were not invited to join the rest of the royal family at their Scottish retreat, Balmoral Castle.
