Queen Camilla is reportedly furious with Prince Harry's recent memoir, "Spare," and is unlikely to forgive him for his scathing portrayal of her. The book has reportedly strained relations within the royal family, with experts suggesting that Queen Camilla has taken on a protective role for her husband, King Charles III, who has been coping with cancer treatment.
According to the True Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen, Queen Camilla is particularly upset by allegations that she leaked private conversations to the media to improve her public image. These allegations are especially sensitive given her past involvement in the breakdown of Charles' marriage to Princess Diana, Harry's mother.

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich claims that Prince William, the heir to the British throne, initially disliked Camilla due to her role in the demise of his parents' marriage. However, he has since come to appreciate her steadfast support for the king and their shared experience of supporting their spouses through cancer treatment.
Camilla is described as having a calming influence on Charles, and Prince William values her positive impact on his father's well-being. Despite their initial tension, Camilla and William have reportedly bonded over their respect for each other's strengths and their commitment to supporting the royal family.

Author Robert Jobson claims that Camilla has not hesitated to confront Prince William when she believes he is being disrespectful towards his father. On one occasion, he alleges that Camilla urged Charles to leave William and his wife, Kate Middleton, behind in a security convoy because they had made the older couple wait.
Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," suggests that Camilla has grown more assertive in defending Charles, despite her initial trepidation upon meeting William. He believes that Camilla has been careful not to interfere in William's relationship with Charles and has avoided acting as a disciplinary figure.

However, Andersen acknowledges that Camilla does not hesitate to express her opinions about William and Harry's shortcomings to her husband. British broadcaster Helena Chard believes that Camilla's protective stance stems from the disagreements between Charles and William over leadership styles and their approaches to decision-making.
Despite their improved relationship, William and Camilla's bond has been strained by Harry's allegations in "Spare." Harry accused Camilla of being a "wicked stepmother" who leaked private conversations and manipulated the media.

Andersen believes that these allegations have deeply offended Charles, who holds Camilla in high regard. He suggests that it will be difficult for the king to forgive his younger son for his hurtful words. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
