The Duke of Sussex has previously claimed that Queen Camilla and King Charles leaked stories to the press to improve her public image

Prince Harry's position in the Royal Family has "reversed with Queen Camilla" after he pressed the "nuclear button", a royal commentator has claimed.

In the Channel 4 documentary, Queen Camilla: The Wicked Stepmother?, a friend of the Queen claimed that Harry's feud with Camilla is painting the prince in a worse light.


Petronella Wyatt said: "Harry and Camilla's positions within the Royal Family have virtually reversed.

"Camilla used to be the hated outcast, now it's Harry and Camilla's seen with affection.

She added: "I'm not sure Harry realised how incendiary it was.

"The whole country seemed to be taking sides."

The Duke of Sussex, 40, and Camilla, 77, have had a strained relationship for many years.

In his tell-all memoir Spare, Prince Harry claimed that Queen Camilla and King Charles leaked stories to the press to improve her public image.

However, Wyatt said: "I don't think Harry thinks things through. I think it's his nature just to press the nuclear button."

"He has to move on from casting Camilla as the wicked stepmother."

The Duke of Sussex's claims have been dismissed by several royal commentators in the new documentary, airing on November 24, including Princess Diana biographer Andrew Morton and former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond.

Bond, who worked at the BBC from 1989 to 2003, said Camilla had "no interest in cultivating a special relationship with any particular journalist", despite Bond writing directly to King Charles's wife.

Prince Harry re-released a paperback version of his autobiography Spare in the UK on October 24 after initially releasing the book in January 2023.

In his tell-all memoir, Prince Harry expressed his anger at the UK media, his unresolved trauma over the death of his mother and his mental health struggles before meeting wife Meghan Markle.

The controversial memoir also contained attacks on several senior members of the Royal Family, including Camilla.

The autobiography sold over six million copies worldwide and holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book.
