The British royal family is making headlines ahead of Prince Harry’s visit to the UK for his Invictus Games promotion and senior royals’ reaction to the Duke’s explosive decision.
Queen Camilla is said to be supporting King Charles’ hopes of repairing his broken relationship with Prince Harry, but she has no plans to get personally involved.
This claim was made by several royal experts who spoke with Fox News Digital, one saying Camilla wants the king, who continues to undergo treatment for cancer, to have the opportunity to spend time with his young grandchildren, but she remains cautious.
They then admitted the reality that trust within the House of Windsor has not yet been fully restored.
“Personally, I think Camilla supported Charles in his ambition to find Harry, [but] Camilla regularly protects Charles’ interests,” Ian Pelham Turner told royal broadcaster.
Another expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, said: “Camilla believes in duty. She cares about the king and knows the breakup worries him.”
Harry is expected to travel to the UK on July 7 for events marking the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games Birmingham 2027, a milestone closely linked to his flagship charity initiative.
On the other hand, British royal expert Hilary Fordwich claimed: “Although Camilla has been a force of stability and is unlikely to block Charles if he really wants to meet Harry, she will keep her distance.”
“She prefers to avoid complicating things. She and the King are in sync, preferring calm over any confrontation. If the King meets Harry, given the high level of trust issues, it will likely be just them rather than any extended family.”
Their statements come after a Daily article previously claimed that Camilla “kept well away” from the couple during the visit and “wouldn’t be there when they arrived.”
Royal expert Katie Nicholl, Vanity Fairsaid that Camilla is known for devoting time to her own children and grandchildren.
“The Queen is a very family-oriented woman and there are many weekends where she does not spend the weekend at Highgrove with the King,” Nicholl explained. “She returns to Ray Mill, her family home, and spends time with her children and grandchildren.”
“Camilla has become queen and is doing a very good job as a faithful wife,” the expert continued.
» said Nicholl. “So if Camilla has been quietly behind the scenes trying to help restore peace between [father and son]so I think she’s really liked by everyone, considering what Harry said about her.”
British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard said Camilla would support a private meeting between Charles and Harry.
“Queen Camilla has more than proven herself as a well-liked and hardworking senior royal,” Chard said.
“She stepped up, doing her best for king and country. Although she doesn’t trust the Sussexes, she is adamant that she wants the best for her husband. However, she doesn’t suffer fools. [Still]it will accompany a father-son meeting out of sight.”
“Camilla won’t be visible anywhere,” Chard said.
“Most likely she will be at her beloved home in Ray Mill, Wiltshire.”
Fitzwilliams spoke out on the situation, saying: “The king clearly wants to see his grandchildren,” he said. “[But] the royal family’s distrust of the Sussexes remains acute. There are no circumstances in which Prince William seems ready to see his brother.”
“There is also some sensitivity about the cost of taxpayer-funded security, which the Sussexes gave up when they stepped down as senior royals.
Harry “attacked Camilla in his memoir, and this is what allegedly led to the Sussexes being evicted from Frogmore Cottage, their home in the United Kingdom.”
The expert continued: “I doubt Camilla would be inclined to be lenient. [But]“If the King and the Sussexes meet, it could mark the start of a reconciliation rather than an immediate reset.”
