Queen Camilla’s ‘shady’ two-word response after being caught off guard with Harry and Meghan question

Queen Camilla seemed slightly surprised when questioned about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision in 2020 to withdraw from their royal responsibilities. During her visit to Prospect Hospice in Swindon, shortly after the couple made their announcement, a reporter inquired, “Will you miss Harry and Meghan?” Camilla took a moment, smiled, and responded thoughtfully, “Hmm. Of course.”

This brief interaction was subsequently shared on social media by ITV’s royal editor Chris Ship, who highlighted Camilla’s nuanced expression and tone. Reactions online were varied—some commended her poised and elegant reply, while others interpreted it as a subtle, clever remark. Comments ranged from labeling her “the master of shade” to recognizing her diplomacy given the delicate timing.

In a recent BBC interview, Prince Harry has conveyed his desire for family reconciliation. He stated, “I would love reconciliation with my family,” highlighting the significance of resolving conflicts. Nevertheless, reports indicate that Camilla, along with Prince William and Princess Kate, remains reluctant to restore relationships.

Sources from the Palace attribute Camilla’s hesitance to personal criticisms made by Harry in his 2023 memoir, Spare. In this book, Harry accused Camilla of engaging in a “long game” to ascend to the position of Queen and expressed feelings of distrust towards her during the early stages of her relationship with King Charles. These comments are thought to have exacerbated the divide, rendering reconciliation between Harry and Camilla improbable in the foreseeable future.
