A forthcoming Channel 4 documentary is reportedly set to depict Queen Camilla as a “wicked stepmother” to Prince Harry and Prince William.
This documentary is said to have a pro-Harry stance and portrays Camilla as having spent 30 years carefully crafting her public image.
The producers of the show are reportedly aware of the potential controversy it may stir, especially at Buckingham Palace.
After King Charles’s cancer diagnosis, there were concerns that airing the documentary too soon could lead to significant public backlash, which is why its release was delayed.
Channel 4 has reportedly reached out to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to contribute to the documentary, but a spokesperson for the couple’s Archwell Foundation denied any involvement. The spokesperson clarified that neither the Duke and Duchess of Sussex nor their team had participated in the making of the documentary. A Channel 4 spokesperson mentioned that the program will focus on Camilla’s background and biography, but no official release date has been scheduled yet.
The documentary also touches on claims made by Prince Harry in his autobiography *Spare*, where he revealed that he and Prince William had urged their father, King Charles, not to marry Camilla after the death of their mother, Princess Diana. Though they reportedly liked Camilla, they did not want their father to remarry.
With the documentary painting Camilla in a controversial light, Channel 4 is anticipating a strong reaction from both viewers and the Royal Family. The program is expected to delve deeply into Camilla’s efforts to manage her media image over the years, adding another layer of tension to the ongoing narrative surrounding the Royal Family.
Amid these developments, there have been reports of hope for reconciliation within the Royal Family. Prince Harry’s secret message to King Charles has fueled speculation about potential healing between them, though details about the message remain private. Meanwhile, a light-hearted moment occurred when one of Prince Harry’s aides reportedly called him “mate,” and Harry responded with a surprising three-word answer, showing his relaxed nature in informal settings.
This documentary, though delayed, promises to be a significant and likely divisive portrayal of Queen Camilla, raising questions about its impact on the Royal Family and public opinion.
