King Charles III will avoid Prince Harry if his wife, Queen Camilla, has anything to say about it. The queen’s reportedly “imploring” her husband, the leader of the British royal family, to steer clear of the Duke of Sussex. The situation is, perhaps unsurprisingly, putting King Charles in a tough spot between his wife and younger son.

Sources told Us Weekly Camilla’s “imploring” King Charles “to keep his distance” from Harry. As a result, per the publication, “it’s putting the King in a difficult position.”

Camilla dislikes Harry and doesn’t want Charles to get stressed while he’s undergoing treatment. So she tries to limit interaction,” a source said.

After being diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in February 2024, the king returned to public duties in late April 2024.

Through it all, the 75-year-old monarch “is holding out hope of salvaging” his relationship with Harry. At the same time, he’s said to be “hugely conflicted because Harry has hurt [Prince] William and Camilla so much.” At the same time, “Harry has also been hurt,” they said.

Harry and Meghan Markle’s eponymous Netflix docuseries made Camilla “furious,” another source told the outlet. “Then, when Spare [debuted], Camilla was saddened about what was said about her. She was heartbroken and confused.”

Meanwhile, royal biographer Christopher Andersen “sees the fine hand of Camilla” in King Charles freezing out Harry. “She’s focused on her husband’s health, and injecting Harry into the equation will only cause more turmoil.”

Andersen, who wrote The King: The Life of Charles III, continued. He described the 75-year-old freezing out his youngest son as “a little callous.”

The late Queen Elizabeth [II] said she wanted Harry to be considered part of the family, always,” the author said.

Then there’s Harry and his brother, the Prince of Wales’ long-held feelings of resentment toward their stepmother. The brothers “have always resented Camilla,” Andersen said, noting how they begged King Charles not to remarry after their mother Princess Diana’s death.

They “only grudgingly agreed to go along with the charade if Charles kept his promise not to make her Queen,” he explained. “That title would have gone to Diana if Camilla hadn’t broken up their parents’ marriage. When Charles broke that promise, William and Harry felt betrayed.”
