• Prince Harry doesn’t regard stepmother Camilla with much respect.
• Ingrid Seward says the pair’s relationship “went off the boil”.
• Camilla had a rocky start to life as a royal.

According to a royal specialist, Prince Harry doesn’t regard his stepmother Camilla with much respect and has no desire to become close to her.

When Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, wed their father Prince Charles in 2005, she also became a stepmother to Harry and his older brother Prince William.

Camilla, who celebrates 75 today, had a rocky start to life as a royal after Princess Diana’s passing, but when Charles becomes king, she will be recognized as Queen Consort.

Ingrid Seward, a royal researcher and novelist, said that although the duchess was first warmly welcomed by her stepson, their relationship “went off the boil” after that.
Ingrid revealed in a clip from an upcoming episode: “When she became a stepmum, they were very happy to embrace her. Most of their friends’ parents were divorced and remarried – so it wasn’t sort of a really unusual thing to happen.

“But then it went off the boil a bit but Camilla never interfered in their lives, she really really took care not to or to say ‘well you can’t do this or you can’t do that’.

“If they asked her something, she would offer some advice but she really kept right in the background.

“But I don’t think Harry has a great deal of warmth for her, he waxes and wanes with her.

“I think William completely appreciated Camilla and what’s she done for his father and he has got to know her well and I think he is very, very fond of her.”

And Ingrid believes that despite their rocky bond, Harry has no intention of developing a relationship with his stepmum.

She added: “I don’t know about the recent trip but certainly I think Harry was quite happy to accept Camilla in the beginning but then went off the boil about her and I don’t think he holds her in great respect.

“Things might have changed very very recently since he came over here and spent a little bit of time with his father but they haven’t really had a chance to be together since Harry and Meghan left so I don’t think that relationship will have really developed

“I don’t think Harry is interested in developing a relationship with his stepmother at this stage in his life.”
