Queen Camilla just made a very smart decision – she knows what Harry and Meghan are like
The Queen is clearly a savvy operator, as shown by a recent move, argues Express reporter Adam Toms

On the eve of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth II told the nation that she would like her eldest son’s wife to be known as Queen Camilla upon her death.

She was then coronated alongside King Charles the following spring in Westminster Abbey on a day that I will remember for the rest of my life.
I had the morning off, and spent it walking around central London taking photos and soaking up the atmosphere.
I then watched the historic ceremony on my phone in a Wetherspoon pub in Victoria station, before heading to the office.
One can only imagine what Camilla was thinking when Queen Mary’s crown was placed on her head.
She had gone from the woman who replaced Princess Diana as the woman at the then Prince Charles’s side to his consort.
Public opinion had largely grown in favour of her, and she would now conduct a crucial job, providing vital support for her husband as head of state for the rest of his life, and carving out her own role at the top of the Firm.

Camilla knows what she’s doing.
She has been described as a “canny operator”, and she is apparently known as “the lady boss” behind palace doors.
Camilla is clearly an impressive woman, and knows what she is doing.
So it is no surprise to find out that she seemingly insisted on being present at the recent reunion between the King, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at Highgrove.
In their podcast for The Times and The Sunday Times, The Royals, reporters Kate Mansey and Roya Nikkhah talked about how Camilla is “very loyal and protective” of Charles.
The pair also agreed that there was “no way in the world” that she was going to “let that meeting go on without her”.
This is because there could be another “recollections may vary” moment – the famous phrase used by Buckingham Palace regarding claims made by the Sussexes during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 – in the future if relations once again sour, and Camilla would need to know herself exactly what was said.
This is a savvy move, as relations are fragile, and Harry and Meghan have a history.
The late Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly worried that photographs were being taken or secret recordings being made for the couple’s Netflix show.
And the Susssexes seem to have relished launching artillery at the Firm from the United States.
Harry’s memoir, Spare, was seemingly designed, in a cruel, self-serving way, to hurt his relatives. He referred to Camilla as “the other woman” and a “villain”, also revealing that he and his brother, William, the Prince of Wales, feared she would be a “wicked stepmother”.
There seems to have been somewhat of a repproachment, but who knows what might happen in the future? Camilla needs to awlays be prepared, both for herself and in order to help her husband if the need arises.
