Where Queen Camilla Stands on King Charles and Prince Harry's Rift
Prince Harry is embroiled in a yearslong feud with both his father King Charles and his brother Prince William. How does Queen Camilla feel about it all? Well, she's intentionally staying out of it, a source said. There is a complicated dynamic between Camilla and Harry anyway, going all the way back to when Camilla was Charles' mistress during his marriage to Harry's mother Princess the father-son rift between King Charles and Prince Harry rages on—escalated, perhaps, even further by Harry's emotional BBC interview last month where he said, in part, that he didn't know how much longer his father had to live—how does Queen Camilla feel about it all? It seems, according to reporting from People, that Camilla is keeping her distance from the feud, as well as that of Harry and brother Prince William. She simply 'stays out of it,' a source told the outlet for its new cover story this week. Camilla—who was long the mistress of Charles during the King's marriage to Harry's mother, Princess Diana—was described as 'dangerous' by the Duke of Sussex in his 2023 memoir Spare. Harry also alleged that Camilla leaked stories about him to the press in an effort to rehabilitate her image following years of bad press as the other woman. Of Charles and Camilla's 2005 wedding—eight years after the death of Diana in a 1997 car accident—Harry wrote he 'had complicated feelings about gaining a stepparent, who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar.' Harry elaborated in a 2023 interview with Good Morning America, where he said that Camilla 'had a reputation or an image to rehabilitate, and whatever conversations happened, whatever deals or trading was made right at the beginning, she was led to believe that that would be the best way to doing it.' As for their relationship now, Harry said at the time, 'We haven't spoken for a long time.' 'She's my stepmother,' he continued. 'I don't look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution, and done everything she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake.' Royal biographer Christopher Wilson told People that Harry 'was justified in his complaint that he and William were used in the early days to legitimize the partnership' of Charles and Camilla. Of the Queen, 'Over time, she's learned to roll with the punches,' he added. 'Harry's feelings have been well-known to her over many years. Her reaction to Harry's comments would be limited to a sad shake of the head.' Of Camilla becoming Queen upon his father's coronation in May 2023, royal biographer and editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine Ingrid Seward said, 'William is quite calm about it. But it will stick in Harry's throat a bit.' As for the ongoing feud between Harry and his father and brother, 'the underlying issue is trust,' royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People. 'The King and William don't trust Harry and Meghan [Markle] with any kind of confidential conversation.' Harry's recent BBC interview, royal biographer Valentine Low added, 'wasn't meant to be an attack, but it would be seen as one. It makes Charles reaching out even harder.'

Sunny Hostin Almost Dumped Her Now-Husband Emmanuel Because He Was Too Short
Sunny Hostin said on The View that she almost broke up with her now-husband Emmanuel because she "thought he was too short" Hostin's best friend convinced her otherwise, saying Emmanuel could "stand on his medical degree" Hostin has now been married to Emmanuel since 1998Sunny Hostin almost missed out on finding her short king. During the Friday, June 6, "Hot Topics" segment of The View, Hostin and her fellow hosts — Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin — discussed Leah Remini's recent comments about her friendship with Jennifer Lopez, and whether they themselves could remain friends with someone who criticized their marriage. When Behar asked Hostin what she would do if her best friend Regina Jansen had told her to "forget about" her now-husband Manny (né Emmanuel) when they first started dating, Hostin responded that her friend "did the opposite, actually." "I was going to cancel Manny because I thought he was too short," Hostin recalled. "Regina told me he could stand on his medical degree, and he'd be tall enough. She gives good advice." Hostin went on to say that "there have been times" where Jansen told her, "I don't like this person for you." "I think when someone loves you and your friend loves you and you can be that honest, I receive that," she said. "I do listen to my friends that I'm close to." Hostin and her husband, who is an orthopedic surgeon, tied the knot in 1998, two years after meeting at church while they were both living in Maryland. "He was gorgeous, decked out in a beautifully tailored suit,' Hostin wrote in her 2020 book I Am These Truths: A Memoir of Identity, Justice, and Living Between Worlds. Determined to meet him, she followed him to a nearby bagel shop after the service and struck up a conversation. The origins of their love story has since become a running joke. "He would tell folks that we'd met in a bagel shop, but I'd let him and everyone else know that we'd met in church,' she wrote. 'That's where the connection happened. He just hadn't seen me.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Hostin welcomed her first child with Emmanuel, son Gabriel, in 2002. Four years later, their daughter Paloma was born. Though they met in Maryland, Hostin and Emmanuel raised their family in New York, where they remain. Read the original article on People
