The Truth About Camilla Parker Bowles' Relationship With William & Harry

While Prince Harry and Prince William have each commented positively about Camilla Parker Bowles to the press, they've always managed to toe a very distinct line when it comes to discussing anything that might even hint at involving both their mother and Camilla at the same time. The first time the two even spoke about their mother in terms of how she parented was in the 2017 HBO documentary "Diana, Our Mother," as Harry himself pointed out, as reported by The New Yorker.

When it comes to their stepmother, the two have said next to nothing on a public platform. Perhaps that is partly due to how they found out about her. In 1995, Princess Diana explained in a BBC interview that, after William asked her why her marriage to his father had failed, she told him, "I said, well, there were three of us in this marriage, and the pressure of the media was another factor, so the two together were very difficult." 

Royal watchers are also curious about something else: If Camilla lives to see William ascend the throne, will he strip her of her royal titles? Traditionally, she would be named Queen Mother if that happened, but as Reader's Digest noted, "only time will tell."
