Prince Harry’s bold suggestion for how to reunite the family has been met with disdain from his step-mother Camilla, Queen Consort.

Apparently Harry had suggested he and his father sit down with a mediator to help heal the ‘rift’ that had formed between them.

“Harry went in with hugs and the best of intentions and said he wanted to clear the air,” a source told Vanity Fair.

“He actually suggested that they use a mediator to try and sort things out.”

However, King Charles III was reportedly unimpressed with this suggestion and apparently Camilla was so shocked it caused her to spit out her tea. 

Royal commentator, Victoria Arbiter, told Sunrise Camilla thought it “absurd to use outside help.”

“She told Harry it was ridiculous and that they were a family and would sort it out between themselves.”

When Charles and Camilla first reignited their relationship in the late 90s, reports suggested Harry, William and even The Queen vehemently disapproved of the pairing. It went so far as claims Harry and William refusing to attend their father’s 50th if Camilla was invited. 

It took until The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 for Camilla to be officially named the next Queen Consort, before then she was told she would be given the title Queen Consort, out of respect for Charles’ first wife Diana.

This move allegedly angered Charles’ sister Princess Anne.

“Rumours that Charles may walk back on his promise that Camilla would not be queen has riled Anne to no end, and she’s told both Charles and Camilla as much,” sources said at the time.

“Anne has made it plain that Camilla will never be a true queen in the eyes of the British subjects.”

Lately the family have put on a united front while they grieve The Queen’s passing, but the rift between Harry and his father still stands. It could be some time before they reconcile.
