Photos ‘sparked a war’ between Meghan Markle and Camilla as duchess ‘refused to listen’

A set of photos posted by Meghan Markle reportedly "sparked a war" between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the now-Queen Camilla.

Meghan, 42, was photographed on a visit to London's National Theatre in March 2020 as part of her duties as royal patron, just weeks before she and Prince Harry officially stepped down from royal duties.

The photos were then uploaded to the Sussexes's now-deleted Instagram account, which saw the mum-of-two posing in a white blouse and pencil skirt as she visited the theatre's Immersive Storytelling Studio.

However, the decision to immediately upload the photos to Instagram sparked a feud between Meghan and Camilla.

At the time a source told the Daily Star that the couple had been requested to delay releasing the photos in order to avoid "overshadowing" a speech Camilla had given on domestic violence on the same day.

The Sussexes's refusal to listen to these concerns led to Camilla being left "furious" at the pair for stealing her limelight.

OK! have contacted Buckingham Palace for comment.

Reflecting on this, royal expert Duncan Larcombe told The Sun: "The 'men in grey suits' are at pains to avoid diary clashes and the prospect of one member of the family outshining the other on the same day.

"Camilla would be justified at being miffed to say the least. But as Harry and Meghan continue their work without any regard for the rest of the work of the Royal family, these kinds of ‘clashes’ are inevitable."

The reports of the royal row come amid Prince Harry's brief return to the UK, which included a visit to St George’s Chapel, Windsor, to pay his respects to his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Harry's return to the UK saw him attend the WellChild Awards ceremony in London on Thursday night, his first appearance in the UK since June.

In a speech at the ceremony, the duke reflected on the events of 12 months ago when he was forced to miss the awards as he rushed to Balmoral in Aberdeenshire after his grandmother was taken ill.

He said: “As you know, I was unable to attend the awards last year as my grandmother passed away.

“As you also probably know, she would have been the first person to insist that I still come to be with you all instead of going to her, and that’s precisely why I know exactly one year on that she is looking down on all of us tonight, happy we’re together, continuing to spotlight such an incredible community.”
