A furious King Charles has issued a shocking deathbed decree, granting his determined heir, Prince William, the authority to exile his troublesome brother, Prince Harry, once he ascends the throne—on the condition that he allows widowed Queen Camilla full control over the palace and its finances.
Sources claim the ultimatum leaves William with little choice, while the formidable queen is allegedly orchestrating a bold power move in her husband’s final days.
Insiders claim that Charles, 76, made this decisive move to guarantee that after his passing, William will show proper respect to his 77-year-old stepmother.
A senior palace source stated that William—the eldest son of the monarch and the late Princess Diana—has successfully maintained a working relationship with his father’s former mistress.
However, the source added, “Most believe he still holds a great deal of resentment toward her.”
Harry famously labeled Camilla as “dangerous” in his explosive memoir Spare, accusing her of subtly tarnishing his reputation—and others’—to elevate her own standing.
William, on the other hand, has never publicly spoken ill of Camilla, who married Charles in 2005—nearly eight years after Diana’s tragic death in a Paris car crash.
However, insiders insist that William has never forgiven Camilla for her involvement in his parents’ troubled marriage and remains particularly bitter about the pain her longtime affair with Charles caused his mother.
Reflecting on Charles and then-Camilla Parker Bowles, Diana memorably remarked in 1995: “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”
“The betrayal of their mother has not been forgotten by either of Diana’s sons,” a courtier shared. “William, being more diplomatic than Harry, has worked to conceal his resentment.”
Sources also claim that William made a decisive move last year by cutting Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot, from the royal payroll.
The insider stated, “William is already displaying a ruthless streak. No wonder Charles fears he won’t make room for Camilla in his new vision for the monarchy.”
Now that Charles has secured his beloved wife’s future, sources say Camilla feels invincible—wasting no time in solidifying her own plans. Insiders claim she is ensuring she’ll have her choice of royal residences, a dedicated staff at her command, generous allowances for travel and wardrobe, and continued access to her favorite jewels.
Additionally, sources say Camilla is making it abundantly clear—she has no desire to ever see Harry or his American wife, Meghan Markle, on palace grounds again.
Although the future king has little affection for his father’s queen, his frustration with Harry runs even deeper.
Harry, 40, and his former Suits actress wife, Meghan, 43, are enjoying a lavish life in their $14 million Montecito mansion, where they are raising their children—Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. However, since relocating to California, the couple has given a series of explosive interviews, openly criticizing Harry’s family.
Meghan even implied that certain royals had made racist remarks, questioning what Archie’s skin tone might be before his birth.
While Charles has yet to revoke Harry and Meghan’s Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, a royal insider claims William is not as lenient as his father. If he ascends the throne, he would have no qualms about supporting an act of Parliament to strip the couple of their titles.
Sources indicate that Charles, who has been battling an undisclosed form of cancer for over 18 months, is deteriorating quickly. Yet, he found the strength to finalize the $3.8 million purchase of a property next to Camilla’s favorite vacation home in Wiltshire, England. According to insiders, the acquisition was part of ensuring his wife’s security in the years to come.
