Queen Camilla Turns Prince Harry's Bedroom Into A Dressing Room
Though King Charles and Queen Camilla's official residence is Buckingham Palace, the two spend most of their time at Clarence House in London. Buckingham Palace sports 52 royal and guest rooms in addition to 188 staff bedrooms, while Clarence House has a simple five bedrooms.
It was one of these five that Harry left behind when he moved out, and Camilla quickly redecorated, during it into a personal dressing room."I tried not to care," Harry wrote in his memoir. "But especially the first time I saw it, I cared."
Prince Harry 'Resents' Queen Camilla
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 20-year anniversary, we all know what happened next.
Social Media Reactions
Unfortunately for Prince Harry, social media users sided with Queen Camilla on this one. "Poor little guy," one person wrote in a comment on Instagram. "Must be hard not having his old room and having to live in a mansion in Santa Barbara with his wife. Grow up."
"He blames Camilla for everything, it Camilla couldn't do a thing without Charles' approval so he's kinda mad at the wrong person," said another.
"This is the only time I'll ever like Camilla," another person wrote."
"I'm no far of Camilla but am I supposed to feel bad for the 40-year-old royal prince that lives in a mansion with his wife and is mad his old room didn't get turned into a shrine for some reason?" asked another. "Good for her."
"What a legend," a final fan wrote of the Queen.
