Queen Camilla is reportedly supporting King Charles efforts to make peace with estranged son Prince Harry and daughter-in-law Meghan Markle despite her past differences with the Duke.

The royal experts have revealed the reason behind Queen Camilla’s true feelings regarding reconciliation with Meghan and Harry, who have returned to Britain.

Speaking to the Fox News Digital, royal expert Meredith Constant said, "Camilla has weathered far bigger storms than the Sussexes’ 2020 move, or Prince Harry’s book, ‘Spare'.

"Camilla knows how to lie low when she needs to. She’s going to go through the motions and put on a good face for her husband as he works on his relationship with his younger son."

Another royal expert Hilary Fordwich reacted to Queen Camilla’s sweet gesture when she offered tea to Harry and Meghan with smile, saying "Albeit this was indeed a polite gesture, it was merely a tiny aperture being opened, not a welcome for any full return as senior royals at all.”

She added, "It’s traditionally British to offer tea as merely a polite gesture. Camilla is dedicated to the king’s health and welfare, so it’s not surprising."

Although, Queen Camilla was hurt by Harry’s unkind words in his memoir Spare and TV interviews, Helena Chard said, “she is made of tough stuff and plays a vital role as King Charles’ steadfast partner, prioritizing his protection.”

“Supporting the king through rigorous treatment and applauding his determination, Camilla’s desire is to ensure her husband’s [golden] years bring him peace, health and joy," the royal expert further explained.
