Prince Harry “pleaded” with their father King Charles to scrap his “unnecessary” wedding to Camilla.
The 39-year-old prince didn’t hold back when he revealed his thoughts on his father’s nuptials, and revealed in his memoir Spare that he and brother and Prince William were so distressed at the thought of Charles remarrying that they begged him to call off the wedding. Charles and Camilla went public with their relationship in 1999, two years after the death of Princess Diana, and married in a civil ceremony in Windsor in 2005, with both William and Harry in attendance.
However, the Duke of Sussex was vocal about his opposition to the union, and in an interview with Anderson Cooper last year, he admitted the marriage between his father and Camilla was “unnecessary”, and both he and his older brother did not support it. “We didn’t think (getting married) was necessary. We thought that it was going to cause more harm than good and that if he was now with his person, that – surely that’s enough?” Harry explained.

“Why go that far when you don’t necessarily need to? We wanted him to be happy. And we saw how happy he was with her. So, at the time, it was, ‘OK’,” he candidly shared. Camilla, who was famously referred to as the “third person in my marriage” by Diana in her 1995 Panorama interview, was dubbed a “villain” by Harry, as he claimed Camilla wanted to improve her image with the public by officially becoming Charles’ wife.
“She was the villain. She was the third person in their marriage. She needed to rehabilitate her image,” he told Anderson. Writing about his relationship with his soon-to-be stepmother in his explosive memoir Spare last year, Harry recalled promising Charles that he and William would welcome Camilla into the family, but they had one demand in return.

“Willy and I promised Pa that we’d welcome Camilla into the family. The only thing we asked in return was that he not marry her. You don’t need to remarry, we pleaded. A wedding would cause controversy. It would incite the press. It would make the whole country, the whole world, talk about Mummy, compare Mummy and Camilla, and nobody wanted that. Least of all Camilla. We support you, we said. We endorse Camilla, we said. Just please don’t marry her. Just be together, Pa,” Harry wrote.
He also confessed he thought Camilla had a “pivotal role” in the breakdown of his family, and continued: “Camilla had played a pivotal role in the unravelling of our parent’s marriage, and yes, that meant she’d played a role in our mother’s disappearance, but we understood that she’d been trapped like everyone else in the riptide of events. We didn’t blame her, and in fact, we’d gladly forgive her if she could make Pa happy. We could see that, like us, he wasn’t.”
