Prince Harry's Betrayal of Queen Camilla: Unforgivable for King Charles

The rift between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles III, has deepened due to Harry's revelations about Queen Camilla in his memoir, "Spare." According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, Charles finds Harry's criticism of Camilla unforgivable and is struggling to move past it.

The release of Prince Harry's tell-all memoir, "Spare," has sent shockwaves through the British royal family, further straining his relationship with his father, King Charles III, and brother, Prince William.

According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," King Charles is deeply hurt by Harry's portrayal of Queen Camilla in "Spare." Harry accuses Camilla of leaking private conversations to the media and being a manipulative force within the royal family. Andersen believes that these allegations have touched a nerve with Charles, who feels betrayed by his son.

"I think people have to realize that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla," Andersen told Fox News Digital. "There's no criticism of Camilla. And unfortunately for Harry... Harry said some pretty devastating things about her."

Andersen claims that Harry's actions have made it difficult for Charles to forgive him. "I don't think they'll ever forgive Harry for that," he said.

The rift between Harry and his family has been evident in recent months. Harry did not meet with Charles or William during his brief visit to England in September to attend the WellChild Awards ceremony. William has also reportedly refused to speak to his brother.

Royal expert Hilary Fordwich believes that King Charles may be more willing to reconcile with Harry in the future, but only when he is ready. "If anyone would relent, it would be King Charles III, whom, of course, Prince William won't challenge," said Fordwich. "However, to this day, after the release of 'Spare' and the Netflix series, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done and not done - it's Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother."

Fordwich notes that trust is a major issue for William. "Prince William is the most unlikely royal to ever forgive Harry for all his despicable indiscretions," she said. "He is now very much seen and accepted as the family enforcer, taking on the hard-line ruler role of his grandfather, Prince Philip."

Sources have reported that Harry's calls and letters to his father have gone unanswered, and his attempts to connect with William through texts, calls, and messages are similarly ignored.

While King Charles has not publicly commented on Harry's allegations, he has been spending time with his wife, Queen Camilla, in Scotland, where they recently commemorated the 25th anniversary of the Scottish Parliament. Harry, meanwhile, has traveled to South Africa for a four-day trip.

Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner believes that William and Harry will not meet with each other in the near future, despite their close proximity. "William and Harry would not meet each other right now, even though they were just a very short distance away from each other," Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital.

Harry's betrayal of Queen Camilla has also cast a shadow over his relationship with his stepmother. Andersen claims that Harry still "resents" Camilla. "They didn't want their father to marry Camilla," said Andersen. "They tried to talk him out of it... they had to put on a public face of acceptance."

Andersen believes that Harry and William feel a sense of betrayal over Charles' decision to marry Camilla. "It's unfortunate that Charles... promised he would never make Camilla queen," he said. "But that's exactly what he did."

According to Andersen, William is particularly difficult to reconcile with. "I really do think that the hardest nut to crack in this whole scenario is William," Andersen claimed. "He has taken [what Harry wrote about him] very, very personally. And he's [very] moody. I think he's probably the moodiest... although he is incredibly charming. Obviously, he has great people skills. But behind the scenes, I think he's really rock hard in his feelings about things, and it's very hard for him to change his ways."
