Camilla "astounded" by Prince Harry's latest attack

Camilla has reportedly been left reeling after Prince Harry's latest attack on the royal family in two high profile interviews. 

The Duke of Sussex's latest onslaught of allegations include that his stepmother leaked stories to the British tabloids in an attempt to rehabilitate her image after her marriage to King Charles, following a highly publicised affair.

Camilla’s close friend told Vanity Fair that the former Duchess of Cornwall is “just astounded by the whole thing.”

Sources close to King Charles III also told the magazine that the monarch refuses to tolerate any comments made about his wife and believes his son crossed a line when mentioning her. 

In an interview with Britain's ITV, Harry said, “Certain members have got in bed with the devil to rehabilitate their image, but that rehabilitation has come at the detriment of others.”

Prince Harry also took aim at Camilla in his autobiography Spare, writing that he and his brother, Prince William, urged their father not to marry their “wicked stepmother.”

“Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” he wrote.

“We recognised that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”

The Duke of Sussex said he has not spoken with Camilla, or his other family members, in “a long time.”

“I love every member of my family, despite the differences,” he said on Good Morning America on Monday.

“When I see [Camilla], we’re perfectly pleasant with each other. … I don’t look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to improve her own reputation and her own image for her own sake.”
