'He was never alone with her and they barely spoke so he's got no idea why she targeted him. 'The stuff she was coming up with was farcical. She then started calling companies Chris and Camilla were working with to tell them these made up lies. "She is intent on trying to ruin Chris and Camilla's life.

'Chris and Camilla have been told by the police they're not alone. This woman has form for what she's been doing to them and has done it to other people too. 'Chris and Camilla are just the latest victims in a string of lives she's tried to destroy. 'He only went ahead with Strictly for his son Wilding.

'I lived with Prince Harry for years and his claim about Camilla doesn't add up'
Scottish butler Grant Harrold spent seven years working at King Charles' country home of Highgrove, where he lived in close quarters with the royals. A Scottish royal butler who worked for King Charles for many years has claimed that Prince Harry's claims about Queen Camilla don't make full sense. Lanarkshire-born Grant Harrold worked at Highgrove, the King's country home in Gloucestershire, from 2004 to 2011, where he became familiar with Princes William and Harry who were in their late teens and early 20s at the time. In a new interview, the former butler said that he first met Harry as a 19-year-old, and that their first encounter saw Harry hit him with a water balloon during a playfight. He says the pair even shared a takeaway in the time before the Duke of Sussex went off to Sandhurst Military Academy, reports the Mirror. Harrold's time at Highgrove also coincided with Charles and Camilla's engagement and wedding. In Harry's memoir Spare, the prince spoke of how he and his now estranged brother William begged their father not to marry Camilla. He wrote: "We support you, we said. We endorse Camilla, we said. 'Just please don't marry her. Just be together, Pa.' He didn't answer. But she answered. Straight away. "Shortly after our private summits with her, she began to play the long game, a campaign aimed at marriage and eventually the Crown (with Pa's blessing, we presumed)." But butler Harrold, who was at the wedding back in 2005, recalled William and Harry decorating their father's car with 'Just Married' signs with both of them racing after the car as the newlyweds drove away after their reception. And he says what he saw was a far cry from what Harry wrote in his memoir. He told The Telegraph: "The four of them, I promise you, got on so well. And that's why I don't understand what Harry's said, I really don't understand. "Because I saw them. I saw them having dinners together, I saw them having drinks together, I saw them going to parties together." He also recalls seeing "no animosity" between any of the royals adding: "The King used to do things to make them [William and Harry] laugh and giggle." Harrold's comments come as he prepares to his own memoir from his time at Highgrove called The Royal Butler: My remarkable life of Royal Service, which recounts his journey from a young boy growing up in North Lanarkshire to working for the then future King. In Spare, Harry mentioned Camilla on more than 60 occasions, often branding her as "the Other Woman". He also accused the Queen of being "dangerous" and leaking negative stories to the press, allegedly "sacrificing him on her personal PR altar". He also pondered whether she would become his and William's "wicked stepmother" before her marriage to Charles, as they continued to grieve the loss of their mother. In his bombshell interview with the BBC back in May, Harry said that "some members of my family will never forgive me" for writing his memoir. But he added: "It would be nice to have that reconciliation part now. If they don't want that, that's entirely up to them." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
