King Charles III feels torn between Queen Camilla and Prince Harry

Transcript

00:00As the royal family feud rolls on, King Charles feels torn between his wife and his son, Prince

00:06Harry.

00:07In Us Weekly's cover story, a source tells us that Camilla has been imploring Charles

00:11to keep his distance from Harry, and it's putting the King in a difficult position.

00:15A source says Camilla dislikes Harry and doesn't want Charles to get stressed while he's undergoing

00:20treatment, so she tries to limit interaction.

00:23Charles meanwhile is holding out hope of salvaging their relationship, but is hugely conflicted

00:28because Harry has hurt William and Camilla so much.

00:32An insider adds that it's not a one-sided situation, Harry's also been hurt.

00:36Now, Harry and Charles have been estranged since he and his wife Meghan Markle left the

00:40royal fold in early 2020.

00:43Since then, Harry has made no secret of his feelings for Camilla, both in his 2023 memoir

00:47Spare, in which he accused her team of leaking stories to the British press and labeled her

00:53a villain.

00:54And he talked about her in the couple's Netflix series, Harry and Meghan.

00:58A source tells us when the docuseries came out, Camilla was furious.

01:02Then when Spare was released, Camilla was saddened by what was said about her.

01:06She was heartbroken and confused.

01:08Behind Camilla, William is the second most important person in Charles' life.

01:12While Harry and Meghan released a statement wishing Kate health and healing following

01:16her cancer diagnosis, sources say things between William and Harry are still fraught.

01:21A source says after the couple's press interviews, William and Kate couldn't believe or understand

01:27how Harry and Meghan expect to make up with them.

01:29She can't respond.

01:30It's a monarchy rule not to.

01:33Now, with two of Charles' closest confidants on the outs with Harry, it will be difficult

01:37to close the gap between father and son, and it's affected his relationship with Archie

01:42and Lilibet.

01:43A source adds, it's left a massive hole in his heart that he's only spent a few fleeting

01:47days with them, and then video calls on important days.

01:50But the insider explains that the main reason Archie and Lilibet can't spend time in the

01:55UK is because of security issues, and due to Harry and Meghan not having a permanent

02:00residence there.

02:01The insider notes, if the king wanted to see them so badly, he could make it easier to

02:06do so.

02:07So things do still remain complicated for now, and an insider says that Charles harbors

02:11a lot of anger towards Harry.

02:13He's always been very protective of Camilla.

02:16It's not easy for him to forgive people who have scorned her.
