EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry ‘hunting for secluded Georgian house near King Charles at Highgrove’

Prince Harry hasn’t had a home in the UK since he was evicted from Frogmore Cottage but now the Duke of Sussex could be looking for a new house with Meghan Markle near to his family, a royal expert says

Prince Harry has been hunting for a “secluded Georgian house” close to his father’s Highgrove estate, a royal expert has said.

After several reports that King Charles III wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, speculation has been rife that the Duke Of Sussex has been house hunting in the UK. Now Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has said that Harry could be set to introduce a new UK base into his family’s life.

But the move could be far more complex than hoped with Harry having to weigh up his options carefully. Talking exclusively to Mirror.co.uk Tom said: “Harry has spent a lot of time trying to work out what sort of UK base he might have. He has no experience of living in anything other than well protected houses that are also well away from the public, so he has a huge problem. Every house he looks at has drawbacks.

Quinn also highlighted how Harry will be struggling to find anything that offers the same level of privacy that he and wife Meghan Markle had at Frogmore Cottage. He continued: “Apart from the security risks Harry has become increasingly obsessed with his privacy and wants to be well away from prying eyes – that was the key reason he was so upset and angry when his father King Charles evicted him from Frogmore Cottage.

“Frogmore is actually a substantial house deep in the grounds of the royal estate at Windsor – it’s also very secure and it would have been perfect. It never occurred to Harry that giving up being a working royal meant giving up the house, but then Harry has always been nothing if not naïve.”

Quinn then said how Harry is hoping to replicate the kind of property his father has with Highgrove. He said: “With no chance of returning to any of the houses in the gift of his family, Harry has looked at buying the kind of secluded Georgian house in its own grounds that his father has at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.”

However, Tom believes one major spanner in the works for Harry could be the cost of security in the UK, but the benefits for his children could outweigh that drawback. He said: “The fly in the ointment is the fact that Harry doesn’t want to pay for security and he is convinced that a great deal of security would be necessary even if the house was close to his father’s home. On the other hand, the idea of buying a house close to his father means he will be able to come to the UK for short periods with his children so they can have some kind of a relationship with their cousins and their grandfather.”

Charlotte looked spookily similar to one of her relatives

PRINCESS Charlotte looked more grown up than ever as she joined her family for Trooping of the Colour.

And while she bore a strong resemblance to both her parents, royal fans were quick to point out the spooky resemblance between the young princess and another family member.

Taking to Twitter, royal superfan Prie shared a side by side snap of Charlotte, 9, and her late grandmother Princess Diana.

Captioning the snap she wrote: “Princess Diana lives on in her granddaughter 🤍

“Princess Charlotte’s photograph from Trooping The Colour reminded me of her granny, Princess Diana.

“They both have the same mannerism, smile, and stare.”

She accompanied the post with a photo of Charlotte riding in the glass carriage yesterday and Diana also in a carriage as she attended the opening of parliament in 1982.

The tweet has since gone viral, receiving hundreds of replies from fellow royalists with many agreeing the images have given them ‘chills.’

Responding, one wrote: “Spencer genes are strong with this one.”

“That’s some really strong genes shining through…wow!” another added.

Meanwhile a third wrote: “Oh my …This gives me the chills! Extraordinary!”

Thousands of fans lined the streets yesterday to catch a glimpse of the Royal Family – including Kate who has made a comeback after her cancer diagnosis.

She beamed on Saturday as she made her first public appearance in months with doting husband Prince William and their kids at her side.

Kate looked stunning dressed in white as she laughed and chatted away to her family.

The Waleses engaged, waved and smiled at adoring fans during their journey.

It was the first time the Princess had headed along to a royal event since Christmas and she had a smile ear-to-ear.

In the carriage on the way, George, 10, appeared eager to catch his mum’s attention, telling her: “Look over there ma.”

Lip reader Gaby Lane told The Sun Kate and William’s eldest “looked so happy” as the family waved and smiled at fans during the procession.

In full mum-mode, brave Kate was desperate to show her three youngsters all of fans’ loving banners and flags.

She told George, Charlotte and Louis: “Right, look at that,” before turning her head in unison with her kids.

King Charles also beamed from his carriage with Queen Camilla by his side.

As the showers appeared to dry up over London, he told Camilla: “It’s brightening up.”

What is Trooping the Colour?

Trooping the Colour or ‘The King’s Birthday Parade’ is a military ceremony which dates back to the early eighteenth century or earlier, when the colours (flags) of the battalion were carried (or ‘trooped’) down the ranks so that they could be seen and recognised by the soldiers. Since 1748, this parade has also marked the Sovereign’s official birthday.

The honour to Troop their Colour rotates through the five regiments of Foot Guards, and this year it lies with Number 9 Company Irish Guards. The Irish Guards were raised by Queen Victoria in 1900 and have provided almost 125 years of service to the nation.

This year marks the second Trooping the Colour of His Majesty’s reign. The King attended his first Trooping the Colour in 1951, aged three, riding in a carriage with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and aunt, Princess Margaret. The King first rode in the parade as Colonel of the Welsh Guards in 1975

A cute Prince Louis was also snapped pulling faces from inside the carriage as he made mum Princess Kate and his siblings laugh.

And his antics didn’t stop once he arrived at the palace.

Louis tried opening a window and fiddled with curtain cords on a balcony next to loving mum Kate.

Crowds erupted this afternoon as Princess Kate stepped onto the balcony with Wills and her kids at her side.

The day had been plagued by rain but downpours couldn’t dampen Kate’s shine today as she beamed alongside her family.

Fans watched on in awe as the Princess joked and laughed with her children.

Gwyneth Paltrow ‘takes sides’ in Kate Middleton & Meghan Markle feud with surprise remark & it’s left the Duchess ‘hurt’

A spokesman for the princess commented on when she will return to face-to-face work meetings

MILLIONS watched as Kate Middleton joined the royal family at Trooping the Colour on Saturday – and even Gwyneth Paltrow weighed in on her triumphant return.

The Iron Man actress commented on an official photo of the Princess of Wales on Instagram saying “So happy to see you looking so happy and well.”

Gwyneth commented on an official post of the Princess of Wales
The unexpected message showed support for the Princess of Wales and could show she is “taking sides” with the royal family, according to a royal author.

Previously, Goop-creator Gwyneth appeared to be getting close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as they were spotted leaving a Michelin-star sushi restaurant in Montecito in May 2023.

However, the relationship appears to have cooled off, according to Closer Magazine.

They claimed: “The actress-turned-entrepreneur [Meghan] was excluded from the intimate Goop dinner – held at her Montecito home last month.”

Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous: “Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest celebrity who seems to be taking sides in the Wales v Sussex standoff.

“Meghan is said to have based her new lifestyle project American Riviera Orchard on the actress’s own products and she admires her greatly so this will hurt.

“Gwyneth didn’t have to make any comment about Kate being at Trooping the Colour but the fact she has means she fully supports her, and like the rest of us, wants her to make a speedy recovery.”

Phil added: “It comes after other well known people like David Beckham, who was once friendly with Harry and Meghan, have very much pinned their colours to the royal mast.”

A number of A-listers are said to have now “dropped” the Sussexes in recent months, from the Beckhams to Oprah and Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.

The royal author continued: “They have realised that William and Kate are the true superstars and future of the monarchy, and a thousand year-old institution isn’t going to disappear any time soon.

“Yes, the royals have their ups and downs, but they survive by adapting and because the public respects the institution, although not always the individuals.

“In time I’m sure Harry and Meghan will realise that they made a big mistake attacking Harry’s family so much, which has alienated many who previously had time for them.”

Kate, 42, brought joy and relief to the nation as she appeared in a carriage with her three children and on Buckingham Palace balcony with hubby Wills and the King and Queen.

It was the first public engagement for Kate – who is still having preventative cancer treatment – since she appeared with her family at Sandringham last Christmas.

Last week, Kensington Palace had confirmed that Kate had found comfort working from home despite her ongoing cancer struggle.

It is expected in coming weeks she will hold more meetings with palace staff and those from the Royal Foundation and Centre for Early Childhood.

These meetings will feature in the Court Circular which detail all official work by members of the Royal Family.

A spokesman for the princess said the palace would only give an update on face-to-face work meetings when appropriate.

And despite Kate announcing she hopes to “join a few public engagements over the summer”, the palace has yet to announce or confirm where she will appear next.

And according to fashion commentator Amber Graafland, the royal, who coordinated with her children’s navy and white outfits, is the “master of using her clothing to send coded messages” – and her outfit on Saturday was no exception.

Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, she says: “With so much heartfelt concern over the Princess of Wales’ health the nation let out a collective sigh of relief when she appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the Trooping the Colour parade at the weekend.

“It was the first public engagement since Kate shocked the world with her cancer diagnosis in March and, despite the uncertainty over the health, she was determined to put on a display of normality.

“And of course, ‘normal’ for Kate is looking immaculate, poised and utterly perfect.”

This nod to normality was an attempt to reassure the public that while it might not be a return to ‘business as usual’ just yet, hope is most certainly on the horizon

Amber Graafland Fashion Commentator
Amber goes on to say that she believes there’s no doubt that Kate’s intention was to “put her family, and the public’s minds at rest” – and that’s exactly why she believes The Princess of Wales chose to wear white.

“White is a colour that not only symbolises new beginnings but is a signifier of hope, change and purity,” says Amber.

“In the English language white is often used as the shorthand for good, and what we are all waiting for right now is positive news about the princess’s health.”

The fashion pro also proceeds to point out that another reassuring message Kate’s outfit choice portrayed was “continuity.”

Amber explains: “Instead of opting to wear something new the princess chose to wear a dress that was last seen in May 2023 during the King’s coronation weekend.

“We know that Kate is a renowned for recycling her looks.
ARTHUR EDWARDS Duty & family mean everything to Kate and today’s appearance proves it – her smiling face made a rainy day worthwhile
“She often re-wears her rotation of designed looks for official engagements.

“And Saturday was no exception.

“This nod to normality was an attempt to reassure the public that while it might not be a return to ‘business as usual’ just yet, hope is most certainly on the horizon.”

Meanwhile, some eagle-eyed royal fans picked up on Kate’s adorable nod to her youngest, Prince Louis.

The Princess of Wales accessorised with a pair of pearl cluster earrings Cavolfiore Pearl Earrings from Cassandra Goad which cost a whopping £4,360.

And for anyone who thinks they may be familiar, you’d be right… because they’re the same pair the mum-of-three wrote to Prince Louis’ christening back in 2018.

Arrogant Prince Andrew is too pompous for his own good, there’s NO place for him in Royal Family, expert says

ARROGANT Prince Andrew is too pompous for his own good and there’s no place for him in the Royal Family, an expert has said.

Andrew is disgraced after paying millions to settle an abuse case brought by one of paedo billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.

Royal expert Jennie Bond described Andrew as ‘pompous’ and ‘very arrogant’Credit: The Sun
King Charles has now turned up the heat on Andrew – warning life will become “uncomfortable” if he refused to quit his 30-room mansion.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond predicted Andrew will never appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony again.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Jennie said: “We in the media would make a huge song and dance about it.

“I don’t think there would be jeers from the crowd – but he’s not going to come back to any kind of public role.

“And I think that’s entirely correct. He’s always been a very arrogant man in my view.

“I’ve met him a few times over the years and he was pompous – he said he was too honourable for his own good.

“Well, I think he was too pompous for his own good actually. There is no place for him now among the working royals.”

Andrew’s police protection was removed when he stepped down from public duty amid the Epstein scandal.

The crisis shows no sign of going away after Netflix screened its hit drama Scoop detailing Andy’s ‘car crash’ Newsnight interview.

And there is yet another depiction of his shame in an Amazon series on his downfall where Andy is played by actor Michael Sheen.

Andrew sparked uproar by leading the family into a service for late Greek King Constantine at Windsor Castle in February in the absence of the cancer-hit King.

But last month he was seen playing golf without a care in the world with pals in Scotland.

The father-of-two’s finances are said to be in trouble as he can no longer work.

It is unclear if Andrew received any major windfall from his late mother’s will when she died in September 2022.

The late Queen helped pay Andrew’s multi-million pound out-of-court settlement to sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre.

The heir arrived in a carriage with Queen Camilla and others to kick off day two of the star-studded festival at the Berkshire track.

Prince Willam and Camilla looked at ease as they rode with the Earl and Countess of Halifax as they were cheered by onlookers.

It was the first time that Camilla and the heir to the throne have teamed up since they led senior royals at the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey in March.

Wills beamed at fans as he made his way into the course in the traditional carriage procession ahead of today’s first race.

Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall, 43, and her husband Mike were also seen enjoying the races.

Mike and Prince William were spotted sharing a laugh with their arms around one another.

Kate’s parents Michael and Carole Middleton were also snapped smiling as they arrived at Ascot.

Carole appeared to give a subtle nod to her daughter with her choice of dress – Kate loves Self-Portrait and regularly wears the brand.

 

It featured chiffon sleeves with a pussy-bow at the neckline – similar to an Elie Saab look first worn by daughter Kate in 2019 at Ascot.

It comes just days after he and Kate stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their children and other royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

It was the Princess of Wales’ first public appearance on Saturday since Christmas – and husband Wills stood proudly alongside her.

Kate, who is undergoing cancer treatment, had revealed the day earlier that she would be at the King’s birthday celebrations, but said she still has “good and bad days”.

The Princess said she expected to be out of the public eye for a “few more months” while she continued to focus on her health.

King Charles was in high spirits yesterday as he rolled into the Royal Ascot on a horse drawn carriage, before congratulating winners.

Charles, who is also undergoing cancer treatment, will not head along today, but will return tomorrow and Saturday.
These are unprecedented times – but King & Kate shoulder to shoulder proves they’re fighting together, royal expert
The monarch yesterday wished racegoers the “best of luck” in chasing the “thrill of a Royal Ascot winner”.

The King has a number of horses running at the iconic British meet.

Writing jointly in the official programme, Charles and Camilla said: “It gave us immense pleasure and joy to witness Desert Hero’s victory in the King George V Stakes last year, particularly as he was bred by Her late Majesty.

“We wish all the participants this week the very best of luck in seeking that unique thrill of a Royal Ascot winner.

“We also hope that those here at the racecourse and watching from home will enjoy five days of the finest racing that this sport has to offer.”

Seven races will take place on each day of Royal Ascot, with this year’s overall prize pot worth a record £10million.

At the King’s Trooping the Colour ceremony, he and Kate stood shoulder to shoulder on the balcony – in what’s been labelled a show of solidarity.

The royals waved to crowds on Saturday afternoon and adoring fans erupted as the royals stepped out.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said the late Queen would have been proud of Charles and Kate’s “gesture of solidarity”.

He told The Sun: “What I think the image I think so many people will have is of Catherine standing next to King Charles on the balcony.

“This can be interpreted as a gesture of solidarity and support from Charles to Catherine.

“Let’s be frank. It would have been very stressful to go through with all of the ceremony.

“It’s all in the eye of a worldwide media storm. Britain is known for its ceremonial brilliance.

“King Charles and the Princess of Wales knew very well every movement would be photographed that was public.

“Point was obviously that this was something that went very successfully, and the image was of absolute solidarity.”

King Charles’ honest opinion of Kate Middleton’s time as Princess of Wales – and as a mum

In Robert Hardman’s new book Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, a friend of the King revealed just what the monarch thinks of his daughter-in-law

King Charles’ honest evaluation of Kate’s time as the Princess of Wales is as strident as you’d expect.

The monarch is close with his daughter-in-law, the future queen. She has become an integral part of the Firm in her years as a royal and is one of the most popular figures in the family. It was announced this week that the Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery and would spend months away from public engagements to recover.

She will be missed by the royal family, as it was revealed in a new book just how much the King values her. In Robert Hardman’s new book Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story, Charles was said to be a huge fan. of Catherine’s. A friend reportedly said: “He thinks Catherine is doing a wonderful job, not just with her royal duties but also bringing up his grandchildren.”

Alongside that, the book drew similarities between Kate and Queen Camilla. It said: “Both Camilla and Catherine are keen readers of books. Unlike their husbands, both keep an eye on the press (including, in the case of the princess, the Mail Online website). Both have very strong non-negotiable relationships with their own families which continue very happily parallel to their respective royal roles.

“They even share similar artistic tastes, with a particular fondness for ballet (the Princess of Wales took Charlotte to watch the Royal Ballet’s Cinderella for her eighth birthday). Both are also firm believers in the merits of gradual, thorough engagement with an issue or an organisation rather than instant, headline-grabbing initiatives.”

Yesterday, the Princess of Wales underwent successful abdominal surgery and won’t be back performing her royal duties until Easter. The 42-year-old was admitted to the London Clinic this week for the planned procedure. She is expected to remain there for ten to 14 days before returning home to continue her recovery.

Protecting Kate’s privacy, Kensington Palace wouldn’t confirm what it was the surgery was for, but confirmed it was non-cancerous. It is understood that husband Prince William will curtail his public engagements while his wife is in hospital and immediately after she returns home. He will also scale back his duties to help support her and their children.

A statement from Kensington Palace this afternoon said: “Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales was admitted to The London Clinic yesterday for planned abdominal surgery. The surgery was successful and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery.

“Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter. The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private.

“Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share. The Princess of Wales wishes to apologise to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”

Less than two hours after this revelation, Buckingham Palace also revealed that King Charles was undergo a surgery of his own next week, for an enlarged prostate. It is understood that Charles wanted to share the details of his procedure to encourage other men with symptoms to get checked out.

The statement read: “In common with thousands of men each year, the King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate. His Majesty’s condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure. The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry branded ‘ruthless’ as expert sends huge warning to Duchess

Meghan Markle in particular has come in for furious criticism after more products from her American Riviera Orchard brand emerged over the weekend.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been branded “ruthless” following their latest controversial move, with a royal expert sending a huge warning to the Duchess of Sussex.

Senior members of the Royal Family were in attendance for Trooping the Colour on Saturday, an important annual event where they come together to mark The King’s official birthday.

But on the morning of the celebration, which also saw Princess Kate make her first public appearance since starting her cancer treatment earlier this year, some new products from Meghan’s brand American Riviera Orchard emerged online.

Richard Fitzwilliams claimed the “Sussexes were always ruthless in disregarding events in the diaries of other members of the Royal Family, ignoring protocol which was they didn’t clash”.

He told The Mirror: “An example was the release of a trailer for their Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan which coincided with the Cambridge’s trip to the United States for the Earthshot Prize in 2022.”

Hours before Trooping the Colour, Nacho Figueras, a friend of Harry’s since 2007, took to social media to to share that he had been sent some American Riveria Orchard produce.

The polo player was seen displaying a jar of raspberry jam and a jar of dog biscuits.

Fitzwilliams lashed out at the timing of the product unveiling from the Sussexes while also sending a huge warning to Meghan.

He continued: “Apparently two more products, raspberry jam and dog biscuits, have just been launched. To do this on the same day as Trooping the Colour shows a very naive approach to marketing as they know journalists keep an eye on what they do.

“Nacho Figueras, Harry’s polo-playing friend, posted that he’d received jam and dog biscuits and posted photos.

“Whereas cynics might say the raspberry sums up the Sussexes destructive attitude to the royal family rather well, on the jar it said two of two.

“If she wants her brand to succeed, Meghan better be more adventurous than this!”

New blow for Prince Harry as ‘closest cousin’ seen joking around with Prince William

Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry have maintained a close friendship since the Duke of Sussex stepped away from Royal Family duties and relocated to the US.

The royals were out in full force today to attend the second day of Royal Ascot with Prince William delighting fans with his dapper appearance, but Prince Harry wasn’t in attendance.

Beaming as his carriage entered the parade ring, the Prince of Wales was the first of the royal procession and included Queen Camilla and the Earl and Countess of Halifax.

Also in attendance were Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugiene. The trio were spotted laughing and joking as William and Beatrice played with the tassels on Eugenie’s hat.

The cousins certainly looked like they have a close relationship as they chatted at the racecourse.

This will come as a fresh blow to Prince Harry with Eugenie being his ‘closest cousin’ with the pair maintaining a close friendship.

The York sisters appear to have remained fairly neutral in the feud between the Sussexes and the Firm, with Eugenie still on very good terms with Harry and Meghan Markle.

She paid a visit to their Montecito home when she was in California and sat chatting with Harry when he attended the King’s Coronation solo on May 6, 2023.

However, neither her nor Beatrice attended the Invictus Games 10th anniversary service earlier this month which the Duke flew back to the UK for.

Zara and Mike Tindall were in happy spirits as they stared lovingly at each other, attending the second day of the Royal Ascot horse racing meeting alongside the Princess of Wales’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton, making their first public appearance since their daughter’s cancer diagnosis.

Yesterday, King Charles and Queen Camilla led the royals during day one of the races as their carriage was the first of the royal procession and were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Wellington.

Charles and Camilla wrote: “It gave us immense pleasure and joy to witness Desert Hero’s victory in the King George V Stakes last year, particularly as he was bred by Her late Majesty.”

Prince Harry’s swipes at Queen Camilla ‘unforgivable’ for King with Duke now ‘on his own’

King Charles is reportedly not able to forgive Prince Harry for criticising Queen Camilla in his bombshell memoir, Spare.

King Charles is reportedly not able to forgive his youngest son, Prince Harry for harshly criticising his wife, Queen Camilla, in his bombshell memoir, Spare. While the Duke of Sussex has reportedly been attempting to have peace talks with the Firm, his pleas have not been listened to.

Prince Harry stepped down from working as a senior royal in 2020 and released his tell-all book on January 10, 2023, after eventually settling in Montecito, California with his wife Meghan Markle and two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Christopher Andersen, author of ‘The King’, told Fox News: “I think people have to realize that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla.”

The author explained Harry “said some pretty devastating things” about his father’s wife, painting her as the “villain” and describing Harry as “on his own”.

He added: “I think that still bothers the king, and I don’t know that it will be easy for him to [forgive]. I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.”

The last time Prince Harry visited his father was when he rushed to the UK for a 25-hour visit in February after the King publicly declared he had an “undisclosed type of cancer”.

Prior to that, Harry and Meghan detailed their rocky relationship with the Royal Family in an Oprah interview and their Netflix documentary titled ‘Harry & Meghan’.

He also accused members of his family of getting “into bed with the devil” to gain good tabloid coverage, singling out the Queen’s efforts to rehabilitate her image with the public after her affair with his father.

The allegations about Camilla come as Prince Harry says he was affected by her role in the breakdown of Charles’ marriage to Princess Diana, Harry’s mother.

While many members of the public initially shunned Camilla, she has won fans by taking on a wide range of engagements and charity activities.

Speaking of Camilla becoming Queen, Christopher told Fox news: “The King pressured the Queen for so long, and in so many ways, to accept Camilla… We have to remember, he promised he would never make Camilla queen. And I think that’s one thing that still bothers both Harry and William.”

Queen Camilla tied the knot to the now-King Charles in Windsor in April 2005, a special occasion that made her his second wife. Charles and Camilla married in a civil ceremony rather than in a Church of England service, making Charles the first royal to marry in a civil ceremony in England.

After the 2005 ceremony, Camilla became known as “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall” – a title she would keep until the King’s coronation ceremony, which saw her become Queen Camilla.

HOwever, Omid Scobie, in his bombshell book Endgame, called Camilla an “anchor” for King Charles, which forced his sons into accepting her. He wrote, though it took some years, Harry and William eventually accepted Camilla “or what she was and still is – an anchor for their father, an unflinching, steady support system for which he could not do without”.
