After last week\u2019s bombshell announcement that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle<\/a> are temporarily relocating to Britain<\/a>, royal watchers have been wondering how this will change relations between the couple and the Royal Family, especially Prince William<\/a>. But there\u2019s another family member the Duke of Sussex<\/a> has had a complicated relationship with over the years.<\/p>\n

Queen Camilla<\/a> has been married to King Charles<\/a> since 2005, and although Harry publicly spoke out in support of their marriage at the time, he revealed his real feelings both in his 2023 memoir, Spare<\/a>, and during a 60 Minutes interview<\/a> with Anderson Cooper the same year.<\/p>\n

In Spare, the Duke of Sussex wrote that Camilla \u201csacrificed\u201d him \u201con her personal PR altar<\/a>\u201d in an attempt to improve her image with the British public, adding, \u201cI even wanted Camilla to be happy. Maybe she’d be less dangerous if she was happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Cooper asked how Queen Camilla had been \u201cdangerous\u201d at the time, the Duke of Sussex explained it was \u201cbecause of the connections that she was forging within the British press\u201d as she tried to \u201crehabilitate her image.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd there was open willingness on both sides to trade information,\u201d Prince Harry added, adding, \u201cwith a family built on hierarchy, and with her on the way to being queen consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course it bothers her, of course it hurts,\u201d Lady Lansdowne said. \u201cBut she doesn’t let it get to her. Her philosophy is always, \u2018Don’t make a thing of it and it will settle down\u2014least said, soonest mended.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

It seems as if their relationship could be slowly on the way toward mending. Although The Queen wasn\u2019t present when Prince Harry reunited with his father<\/a> last fall, she took a major step by joining Harry, Meghan and their children at Highgrove House when the Sussexes visited the U.K.<\/a> in July.<\/p>\n

A source calls the meeting \u201cpolite with no recrimination,\u201d per author Tom Bower in the Daily Mail<\/a>, sharing that Queen Camilla allegedly offered Harry tea and that \u201cthe goodwill shown calmed the Sussexes’ fear of returning.\u201d<\/p>\n
