There had been strong signs that the feud between King Charles and his younger son might well be drawing to a close.
Reports have claimed that while there is a “secret alliance” between Buckingham Palace and Montecito, especially as messages from both the King and Prince Harry appear to be congruent in terms of their message on larger global issues.
However, progress on reconciliation appears to be at an impasse, and recent events suggest it could get worse, thanks to the king’s wife, Queen Camilla.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary on Tuesday, and instead of a greeting, the couple received bad news about a new change at the palace.
A photographer revealed that Harry and Meghan’s picture, once placed at Highgrove House, had been replaced by a picture of Charles and Prince Louis.
Sources have revealed that Camilla had been behind the change as she is adamantly opposed to welcoming the Sussexes back into the fold as it would invite “more chaos and embarrassment”.
“Camilla has clearly made it her personal mission to erase them from royal life entirely,” the insider said Heat magazine. “No wonder Harry’s worried he’ll never get past her long enough to set things right with his father.”
There is a long history of bitterness between Harry and his stepmother, something the King is not okay with. The description of the Queen Consort in Harry’s memoirs Spare parts considered one of the reasons the Sussexes were evicted from Frogmore Cottage.
This could be a way for Camilla to finally get revenge for the “harmful things” Harry has said about her.
Royal commentator Samara Gill also shared her analysis of the image’s removal Sky News suggesting it is a “declaration of war of sorts”.
“The royal family, they don’t shout it but they freeze you out quite politely and the symbolism of it is subtle but it’s quite brutal,” she said, indicating this could be “endgame”.
