It seems like the spotlight is once again shining on Prince Harry, and this time, it’s due to his strained relationship with Queen Camilla, his stepmother. A new Channel 4 documentary on Queen Camilla’s public image has sparked a lot of conversation, especially regarding Harry’s feelings toward her. While Camilla has worked hard over the years to reshape her image from the “wicked stepmother” persona to a beloved Queen, this documentary takes a different approach and paints her in a less flattering light, which has led to a lot of backlash.
Royal author and expert Angela Levin voiced her concerns about the documentary’s portrayal of Camilla, especially since she felt it was unfair to depict her as a “mean” figure. According to Levin, there’s more to Camilla than meets the eye, and Harry’s negative feelings towards her are adding fuel to the fire. Levin believes that while Prince William has a more positive and understanding relationship with Camilla, Harry’s long-standing grievances have made him view her in a much more negative light. Levin points out that Harry’s anger seems to stem not just from his relationship with Camilla but also from his longstanding issues with the media.
The key difference, according to Levin, is how Camilla and Harry handle the media. Camilla, despite enduring her fair share of scrutiny over the years, has learned to deal with the press without letting it get to her, while Harry has always struggled with the media spotlight. Levin suggests this could explain why Harry harbors such resentment toward Camilla. She also emphasizes that Camilla, in her own way, has always tried to help and support King Charles, not for the fame or attention, but because she genuinely wanted to contribute to charity work and support her husband.
Levin, who spent a year with Camilla while writing her biography, describes her as a “marvelous woman” with an easygoing personality. According to Levin, Camilla has transformed into a much-loved Queen Consort, and the public’s perception of her has largely improved due to her dedication to charity work and her calm, steady presence.
Meanwhile, there’s talk of Harry’s future in the U.S., where some reports suggest that he could face new challenges, particularly with the possibility of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem being nominated for the position of Secretary of Homeland Security. While the full implications of this are still unclear, some see it as a sign that Harry may encounter new difficulties.
As the drama unfolds, people are left wondering whether Harry’s feelings toward Camilla are justified or if he is being too harsh. Has Camilla truly shed the negative baggage of her past and transformed into the beloved figure she is today, or does she still have some shadows to deal with? With Harry continuing to navigate his royal and media struggles, it looks like this drama will keep unfolding.
