Queen Camilla’s Buckingham Palace aides “almost never discussed” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to a royal source.
The claim comes despite Prince Harry’s characterisation of his stepmother as “dangerous” in his memoir Spare.
The Duke of Sussex also claimed in his book, which was published in 2023, that Camilla had sacrificed him on her “personal PR altar”.
In his memoir Spare, Harry detailed his complex feelings about his father’s relationship with Camilla.

He added regarding his stepmother in his autobiography: “Maybe she’d be less dangerous if she was happy?”
Those within royal circles are largely unmoved by the controversy according to an insider.
A royal source told Newsweek: “Far more thought and hiatus is stirred up in the media around what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are or aren’t doing on any given day than was ever a fixation at the Palace.”
The source added that the topic is “almost never discussed” at the Palace.
