King Charles and Queen Camilla just celebrated 20 years of marriage, and the happy couple is busy reigning over the Untied Kingdom. While the King and Queen have the support of their citizens, they didn’t always have the support of the people closest to them, namely, Prince William and Prince Harry, as the latter revealed in his memoir, Spare.

Prince William & Prince Harry Disapprove

When Charles and Camilla married in 2005, Harry and William still had their mother, Princess Diana, in mind. Diana and Charles divorced in 1996 and Diana tragically died shortly after, in 1997. However, Camilla had been in the picture long before Diana's death, and even before their divorce, as she and Charles were having a secret affair.

Perhaps this is why the boys originally had some distaste in their mouths towards Camilla. Writing in his memoir, Prince Harry said, "Willy and I agrees that Pa deserved better. Apologies to Teddy [the King's childhood teddy bear], Pa deserved a proper companion. That was why, when asked, Willy and I promised Pa that we'd welcome Camilla into the family."

"The only thing we asked in return was that he not marry her".

Don't Marry Camilla!

"You don't need to remarry, we pleaded," he continued. "A wedding would cause controversy. It would incite the press. It would make the whole country, the whole world, talk about Mummy, compare Mummy and Camilla, and nobody wanted that. Least of all, Camilla."

"We support you, we said. We endorse Camilla, we said. Just please don't marry her. Just be together, Pa," Harry finished. He then continued on to say that his father didn't respond...and considering the recent anniversary, we all know what happened next.
