Prince Harry's memoir Spare launched many attacks on members of the Royal Family, including Prince William and Queen Camilla.
At one point during the book, the duke claimed the Prince and Princess of Wales encouraged him to dress in a Nazi uniform at a 2005 fancy dress party.

Elsewhere in the memoir, Harry claimed he and his brother begged King Charles not to marry Queen Camilla, whom he described as a "wicked stepmother".
He also accused the Queen of having a "long-term strategy, a campaign directed at marriage and with time, the Crown (with the blessing of our father, we supposed)".
The Duke of Sussex wrote: "I remember wondering... if she would be cruel to me; if she would be like all the wicked stepmothers in the stories."
