Prince Harry's turbulent relationship with Queen Camilla is set to be explored in a new documentary, it has been claimed.
In his autobiography Spare, the Duke of Sussex described his stepmother as "dangerous" and a "villain" while also accusing her of leaving "bodies in the street" while trying to change the public's perception of her. He also claimed Camilla "sacrificed him" so she would improve her standing, and blamed her for leaking stories to the press about his wife Meghan Markle.
A new Channel 4 production focusing "various elements of Camilla as our new Queen" is also going to tackle "her dynamic with Harry", according to an insider. This topic could gain "the greatest attention", they added.
The insider told The Sun: "Although this documentary will focus on various elements of Camilla as our new Queen, her dynamic with Harry is tackled in the new show. That is likely to be one of the subject areas gaining the greatest attention and these Channel 4 documentaries on the royals aren’t afraid to go where other profiles often fear to tread.
"These shows have proved in the past they can spark a chain reaction that lead to further revelations and create major controversy." A new royal book by Robert Hardman has claimed that despite Harry's comments in Space, for Camilla it was "business as usual - with a smile and without a word".
Released on January 18, the groundbreaking new book by Robert Hardman, titled Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story has been dubbed "an insightful and authoritative account of the first year of King Charles’s reign" in the description on Google Books. While it largely details the King's first year since ascending to the throne, it also includes lots of juicy details about Queen Camilla, including bits on her relationship with her stepson, Prince Harry.
Hardman writes that the Queen "was content to let it pass", referring to the remarks Prince Harry made on 60 Minutes about her. He went on to detail her strength and the way she had changed as she prepared to take on the role in the past years, knowing that the late Queen's health was declining.
He wrote that she would not allow her friends to comment on Prince Harry's "hurtful" remarks. The history of the Duke of Sussex's relationship with his stepmother is a complex one, with both him and his brother, Prince William, begging their father not to marry her back in 2005. It had been a mere eight years since their actual mother, Princess Diana, was killed in a car crash while fleeing the paparazzi in Paris.
In his tell-all memoir Spare, Prince Harry talked of the hurt he felt when he accused the Queen of "sacrificing" him for her own public relations interests. He wrote: "I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar.
