Royal Feud Explodes Will Meghan & Harry's Wedding Be Ruined?

With Charles under fire, shock new claims bring back all the old hurts.

With just weeks to go before the world’s focus is on the royal family for Prince Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle, a bitter feud behind palace doors threatens to overshadow the joyous event.

Royal insiders tell Woman’s Day the recent publication of a book outing Princes Charles as “pampered, petulant and self-pitying” has led to a furious falling-out between the Queen and her daughter-in-law, the Duchess of Cornwall.

With the 91-year-old monarch blaming Camilla for her son’s dented reputation, we’re told the senior members of the Windsors, including Harry and Prince William, are hardly on speaking terms.

“The tension within the royal family is at an all-time high,” reveals one well-placed palace source. “This is nothing short of a battle royale. The Queen is disgusted with Camilla’s behaviour and has accused her of mounting a disrespectful bid for the throne. William and Harry are barely speaking to Charles or Camilla either. It’s all a shambles.”

The book, Rebel Prince: The Power, Passion and Defiance of Prince Charles, is a new exposé by investigative writer Tom Bower. It contains explosive claims he and Camilla launched a smear campaign to portray Princess Diana as a “scheming hysteric” before her tragic death in 1997, and reveals startling allegations about Charles’ privileged existence.
