Prince Harry appears to have found himself between a rock and a hard place, the reason for this is his insistence towards building connections between his children and King Charles. But to make any of that happen, there is one royal whose sign off is paramount and she is one person Prince Harry has been very vocal again.

For those unaware of her identity it is none other than Queen Camilla, the woman Prince Harry described as a ‘wicked step-mother’ in the past.

However, this time around, she’s said to be holding all the cards, and for any communication, “she wants to be front and centre”. That goes for “every single discussion and negotiation,” and what’s even more is that Charles is in agreement, “because he knows how strongly she feels about itm especially about Meghan,” according to Heat. (sic)

As for what the Queen thinks can be done, the insider admits, “by Camilla’s estimation, she has Harry wrapped around her little finger.”

“There's a concern that whenever Harry speaks to his father he’s reading from a script Meghan has prepared for him, which is exactly why she refuses to let any of these conversations happen without her sitting in on them.”

During this time though, Prince Harry is staying focused on one goal, and that is scoring Christmas invite to ensure his children get the best possible chance to build connections to their cancer-stricken grandfather.

According to the same source, Harry is doing nothing short of “everything he can” to keep the dialogue going “through aides” none the less, but the fact of the matter is that “none of it is going anywhere unless Camilla signs off on it first.”

The reason why its up in the air despite the father-son pair having just had a successful meeting in Highgrove House is that, “she and Harry have never gotten along. It’s no secret she thinks he’s been a spoiled brat who’s made a whole lot of mistakes, but she does believe there’s still some good in him and that, deep down, he can be steered in the right direction.”
