Queen Camilla is putting King Charles's wishes first as the royal family navigates Prince Harry's return to the UK, with royal experts telling Fox News Digital that she is prepared to support reconciliation efforts despite past tensions. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to Britain on 26 August, with their children, Archie and Lilibet, due to start school there in September, and experts believe Charles, who continues cancer treatment, is keen to build a closer relationship with his grandchildren.

Before the family's return, Charles met Harry, Meghan and their children at Highgrove House on 10 July, a meeting reportedly kept even from the Prince and Princess of Wales, with Camilla present and said to have greeted Harry warmly with tea. Commentators noted the gesture as a small opening rather than a full welcome back into royal duties, while acknowledging Camilla was hurt by Harry's past criticism of her in his 2023 memoir "Spare", in which he accused family members, including her, of courting favourable press coverage. Experts say Camilla, who has weathered bigger controversies before, will prioritise supporting Charles through his health treatment over any personal grievances with Harry.
