While Camilla initially welcomed Meghan into the Firm with open arms when she married Harry in 2018, royal watchers noticed that she seemed to have changed her opinion of the couple by the time they stepped down earlier this year. 

A royal insider also told Radar Online back in January that Harry’s stepmother was more involved with Megxit than previously assumed.

The source said: “Charles hoped Camilla would be a calming influence but he’s been blind to her scheming and stirring that’s been going on behind his back.

“Camilla secretly revels in all this drama. And she’s brilliant at playing all sides, like a conniving politician.”

Reportedly, the insider implied Camilla had encouraged Meghan to make the dramatic choice to leave the Firm.

However, reports also emerged in March that Camilla was furious at Meghan for allegedly stealing her spotlight.

It came as the Duchess of Sussex published photos from a surprise trip to the National Theatre on the same day that Camilla was making an impassioned speech about domestic violence.
