Queen Camilla’s Buckingham Palace aides “almost never discussed” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — no matter how controversial the pair’s revelations were, a royal source has revealed.

It’s no secret that the Duke of Sussex, 40, doesn’t share a close bond with his stepmother, and their rift was widened with the release of his bombshell memoir, “Spare,” in 2023.

In his tell-all book, Harry alleged that Camilla was a “villain” who sacrificed him on her “p.r. altar.”

He also revealed that he and his estranged brother, Prince William, had begged their father King Charles not to marry her.

But as the world heard nonstop revelations from the Sussexes — who quit royal life in 2020 and moved to the US — those within the royal fold were largely unfazed by the controversy, an insider told Newsweek.

“Far more thought and hiatus is stirred up in the media around what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are or aren’t doing on any given day than was ever a fixation at the palace,” a royal source told the outlet.

The source added that the topic is “almost never discussed” at the palace.

The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.

Among the myriad of revelations in his book, Harry’s feelings toward Queen Camilla, 77, were laid bare as he sensationally branded her “dangerous,” and accused her of playing “the long game, a campaign aimed at marriage and eventually the Crown.”

The father of two also claimed that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media to maintain her image and boost her popularity.

“I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal p.r. altar,” he wrote.

He said that meeting Camilla — referred to as the “other woman” in his book — was like an “injection,” writing, “Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it.”


  Following the release of “Spare,” it was reported that the revelations left Camilla “hurt” and left a deep scar on the royal family, especially Charles.

In fact, the King, 76, has reportedly asked his estranged son to stop “leaking” personal details about the royal family’s private life.
