Following a string of challenging months, Queen Camilla and King Charles are going to spend their summer vacation at Balmoral, where they will be joined by other members of the royal family, a new report claimed.
"Birkhall is like a second home to both of them, they absolutely adore it. Not only is it where they had their honeymoon but also where they both enjoy spending time together away from prying eyes," an unnamed source told OK! Magazine.
It has been previously reported royal expert Christopher Andersen alluded to King Charles distancing himself from Prince Harry due to comments the duke made about Queen Camilla in “Spare.”
"When Harry branded his stepmother Camilla a 'villain' in his book and revealed that both he and William initially begged their father not to marry her, Harry committed what Charles regards as a cardinal sin. No one disses Camilla in royal circles and gets away with it – not even a son of the king," Christopher told an outlet after an insider claimed the royals weren't speaking.
In "Spare," Prince Harry voiced his dissatisfaction with his stepmother and Prince William.
"I think Charles could forgive Harry for some of the trouble he’s caused – including bailing on the monarchy … slamming his brother William for bullying behavior and suing for royal protection when visiting the U.K. But Charles is having a hard time forgiving Harry for taking what he sees as gratuitous potshots at his beloved Queen Camilla. This still remains a thorn on the king’s side," Christopher went on.
The security dispute between Prince Harry and King Charles reportedly deepened the rift between the two of them, as stated by an anonymous informant.
"He gets 'unavailable right now.’ His calls go unanswered. He has tried to reach out about the King's health, but those calls go unanswered too,” a pal told the entertainment news outlet.
The laws of the United Kingdom prevent private bodyguards from having access to firearms and other resources, which is why Prince Harry is battling for the right to have police escorts accompany him when he is in his home country.
“The threat is very real. He needs protection. The idea that the security forces wouldn’t allow anything to happen is a very glib dismissal of the reality of the threat the family faces," a mole claimed.
In the past, Prince Harry has stated that he "felt forced" to leave the royal fold, and he has stated that he would not bring Meghan Markle or their children to England unless he was certain that they were secure.
“Why would he bring his wife and children back to the U.K. if they are not going to be protected? The duke needs protection, they need protection. The threat level hasn’t changed since he stepped back from the royal family, if anything it has got worse because of the tabloid campaign against him and his wife,” the spy claimed.
Before she passed away, Queen Elizabeth stated that it was "imperative" that the Sussexes were "provided with effective security." However, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures removed those privileges from the Sussexes when they gave up their HRH designation.
“The fact that there is even any debate around (Harry’s) security is unbelievable when you look at the situation. The late queen made it really clear [at the Sandringham Summit] that she wanted him and his family protected. She intervened to allow Andrew to keep his protection. Why is it impossible for his dad not to do the same for Harry? If the king wanted, he could do this for his son,” the tattler shared to Express UK.
