Prince Harry’s previous scathing remark about Queen Camilla have gone viral on popular social media platform, TikTok. During an interview before the release of his bombshell memoir last year, Harry referred to his stepmother with a scathing two-word remark: “The villain”.
Speaking in a 60 Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper, Harry said: “She was the villain.” Referring to his father’s relationship with Camilla whilst he was still with his late mother, he added: “[Camilla] was the third person in the marriage. She need to rehabilitate her image…” In the clip posted by @queendianaspncer on TikTok, Harry was asked whether both he and Prince William had directly asked their father not to marry Camilla, to which he replied, “Yes”.
When asked “why” they had done that, Harry shared: “We didn’t think it was necessary. We thought it was going to cause more harm than good.” The video then shows similar pictures of Diana and Camilla, such as each of them sitting on a bench next to the now-King Charles. Coming to Harry’s defence, many fans pointed out how “proud” the late Princess Diana would be of her youngest son.
One fan commented: “Diana is so very proud of Harry! [red-heart emoji].” Another commented: “I wish Diana would have known how Harry would fight for her and carry on her legacy. She taught him well.” As reported by US Weekly, a source previously said: “Camilla dislikes Harry and doesn’t want Charles to get stressed while he’s undergoing treatment, so she tries to limit interaction.”
Despite this, they added that Charles, meanwhile, “is holding out hope of salvaging their relationship but is hugely conflicted because Harry has hurt William and Camilla so much.” Despite this, the insider pointed out that Harry has also “been hurt”. Speaking of the claims that Harry and William had asked Charles not to marry Camilla, royal expert and The King: The Life of Charles III author Christopher Andersen previously told US Weekly that the brothers’ had “always resented Camilla”.
He added: “They pleaded with their father not to marry her and only grudgingly agreed to go along with the charade if Charles kept his promise not to make her Queen.
“That title would have gone to Dianaif Camilla hadn’t broken up theirparents’ marriage. When Charles broke that promise, William and Harry felt betrayed.”
