NOBODY IS GOING TO GET IN THE QUEEN'S WAY THIS WEEK
Camilla assembles CORONATION ARMY

There’s no downplaying the pressure Queen Camilla is feeling ahead of her husband King Charles’ coronation.

However, while Camilla, 75, is struggling to find a shoulder to lean on in the King, given he remains laser-focused on his historic ceremony, New Idea’s royal insiders reveal she has quietly pulled together an “army of supporters” to ensure nobody dampens her big moment.

Standing by Camilla’s side on May 6 will be her closest allies – children Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes, ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, and younger sister Annabel Elliot.

Tom, 48, is said to have been tasked with ensuring his stepbrother, Prince Harry, can’t cause any further complications for his mother.

“There is no-one more upset about Harry vilifying Camilla than her son,” reveals a palace insider.

The Duke of Sussex, 38, described his step mum as a “villain” in his book Spare, which left the tight-knit Parker Bowles clan reeling.

“Tom is rightfully furious at Harry,” continues the source. “He, more than anybody, witnessed firsthand all the hell Camilla went through – decades of being hated by the public and the press.”

Harry’s words have also caused a rift with Camilla’s daughter Laura, 45. Before Harry’s cruel literary tirade, the step-siblings were believed to be rather close.
