Not everyone is on board. Following many ups and downs within the royal family, author Christopher Andersen addressed new issues that may be causing a divide for Prince Harry and Prince William with other family members.
“It’s just whether or not they can get over this bad feeling. Then, of course, Queen [Elizabeth II]‘s health and these other considerations are there. I don’t think it helped with the queen announcing that Duchess Camilla will be Queen Consort and that’s another issue,” Andersen exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, February 22, while promoting his book Brothers and Wives: Inside the Private Lives of William, Kate, Harry, and Meghan.
The royal author claimed that the decision is “driving a wedge” in the royal family, adding, “I can tell you right now that the boys were completely blindsided by this.”
Earlier this month, the monarch, 95, announced her hope for Camilla, 74, to be given the title Queen Consort when Prince Charles takes the throne.
“When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me,” she said in the February 5 statement. “And it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.”
According to Andersen, the queen’s son, 73, was “relentlessly” pushing for his wife to gain the title.
“Charles just wore her down on this too. I also think that since the death of Prince Philip, Charles has stepped up his effort to make it clear to the queen that he too needs [a partner],” he claimed, referring to Philip’s April 2021 passing. “If he’s going to reign, he’s going to need the support, the kind of support that she got from [her husband].”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are showing their support for the people of Ukraine.
Recently it was announced that Camilla Parker Bowles will become Queen Consort when her husband Prince Charles becomes King.This new title will not change the Duchess of Cornwall's duties too much, as it mainly means that she is the spouse of the current monarch and their duty is to support them. It seems that Camilla is wasting no time in preparing to step up her role as she not only takes on more senior duties but by also adapting her royal wardrobe to follow that of The Queen's.
The British Royal family was on-hand for the Commonwealth Day festivities at Westminster Abbey on Monday (Mar. 14), but it wasn’t that huge of a showing this year. Kate Middleton and her husband, Prince William, were there, along with William’s father, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. However, notable family members like Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Queen Elizabeth II were absent. Though Queen Elizabeth, 95, recently battled COVID-19, Buckingham Palace announced on Friday (Mar. 11) that she would not attend the service due to mobility issues, per The Mirror.
The Queen was reportedly only informed of the news that Prince Harry would not be attending the memorial service of his grandfather Prince Philip just 15 minutes before the public announcement was made. Prince Harry ruled out returning to the UK for his grandfather’s memorial service this week in a statement. It read: “The Duke will not be returning to the UK in late March, but hopes to visit his grandmother as soon as possible.” Harry, 37, and his wife Meghan Markle, 40, will not be jetting back to the UK for the Service of Thanksgiving on March 29 at Westminster Abbey, a spokesman confirmed on Friday 11 March.
Royal retreat? Prince Harry will not return to the U.K. for an upcoming event in honor of his late grandfather Prince Philip. The news came as Queen Elizabeth II decided to skip the approaching Commonwealth Day Service following her COVID-19 battle.
The Queen backed Duchess of Cornwall Camilla to be Queen Consort when Prince Charles becomes King in a public statement of appreciation ahead of her Platinum Jubilee. Her Majesty said that it would be her “sincere wish” that Camilla would have the title as she thanked her for her service through the years.
After their bombshell Oprah interview, you'd be forgiven for wondering what revelations Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have left to make. Plenty, it seems.
Prince Charles, 73, and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, 74, have not let The Royal Family’s rift with his son Prince Harry, 37, and Harry’s wife Meghan Markle, 40, stop them from honoring them. On Tuesday, March 8, Camilla opened the doors to the infamous Clarence House in London, which she shares with Charles, for a private cancer charity event. In a photo published by People, there is a framed photo on a dining room table of Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding, as well as a larger framed photo of Prince Harry alone.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall's primary London residence is Clarence House, with the couple moving into the historic home together back in 2003. The property has been home to numerous members of the royal family, including Prince William and Prince Harry, and most notably, Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty, 95, lived at Clarence House with her late husband Prince Philip after the pair tied the knot in 1947, and they stayed there up until 1952 – when Elizabeth became Queen.
Queen Elizabeth II received warm wishes from members of the royal family on Tuesday. Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, all took part in recognizing the Queen on International Women’s Day. "Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and Head of State, The Queen's extraordinary reign has been longer than any other monarch in British history – inspiring a nation and dedicating her life to the service of the Commonwealth and its people," the caption read.

The family included a personal photo of the Queen with her late husband, Prince Philip, with a few of their great-grandchildren. The tribute comes shortly after Queen Elizabeth II held her first in-person meeting since battling COVID-19. Prince Charles was among the members of the royal family celebrating Queen Elizabeth II on International Women's Day.
Meeting your partner’s family for the first time is always a nerve wracking experience, but it was even more so for now-Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle when she met Queen Elizabeth for the first time. Meghan was first linked to Prince Harry in 2016, and the pair went on to tie the knot in May 2018.They’ve since welcomed two children together – Archie, two, and nine month old Lilibet. Archie was born in the UK, while Meghan gave birth to Lilibet in California last year.
Prepping for a new era. Prince Charles isn’t king yet, but he’s already thinking about how he might change the monarchy once he takes the throne.
