Camilla Is the 'Backbone' of the British Throne: Queen Blocked King Charles' Hopes for Reconciliation With Prince Harry During Recent London Trip

Queen Camilla is reportedly starting to 'add some backbone to the throne' by blocking King Charles' hopes to reconcile with Prince Harry during the rebel Duke's recent trip.

Queen Camilla "put her foot down" about sick King Charles III not meeting with Prince Harry during the rebel Duke's trip to London in late September. Her Majesty was reported to have been concerned about the monarch's condition due to His Majesty's receiving cancer treatments for over six months after his diagnosis.

This led an insider to dish, "The Queen truly is the power behind the throne, and the King honestly likes it that way, I feel. This is especially true this past year as he battles cancer. It is somewhat disheartening for the Queen to see the Princess of Wales beat her cancer, but the King is still in limbo. So absolutely, she blocked Harry from seeing him."

One of Her Majesty's friends told an outlet, "[Camilla] has been the principal voice urging Charles to slow down and take things easy. The last thing she wants him to do is to get stressed out over a meeting with Harry."

They added, "The King has an instinctive impulse toward Christian reconciliation, and his cancer diagnosis has only sharpened that. He wants this settled, not just because he loves both his sons, but because it has been so destabilizing for the monarchy."

The former "side piece" also wants her King to rest as much as possible in order to fulfill their two-week tour of Australia and Samoa later this month. It will be the King's first tour of one of his Commonwealth realms since coming to the throne on September 8, 2022.

Another royal source shared, "This tour is absolutely vital in order to show the King's commitment to his subjects across the globe, and not just here in Britain. It should have happened a year ago to be perfectly honest since republican sentiment in Australia seems to be growing."

However, additional reports reflect how His Majesty may not be as "weak" and non-confrontational as some believe, especially when it comes to his "beloved Camilla."

"I think people have to realize that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla," The King author Christopher Andersen shared. "There’s no criticism of Camilla. And unfortunately for Harry ... Harry said some pretty devastating things about her. He made it clear that he felt she was ... the villain in the piece."

Although King Charles and Prince Harry have made a few different attempts to reconcile since the release of the California Duke's autobiography in early 2023, the monarch allegedly "keeps returning" to the passages Harry wrote about his stepmother with disdain and disappointment.
