Prince Harry's troubled relationship with Queen Camilla will be explored in a new Channel 4 documentary after the Duke called her 'dangerous' and a 'villain' in his memoir

The fractured relationship between Prince Harry and Queen Camilla will be explored in a new TV documentary about her on Channel 4, it was claimed today.

Sources claimed the program would explore Camilla's 'dynamic with Harry', although it has not yet been named and does not have an air date at this stage.

The Duke of Sussex claimed in his book Spare last January that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media to boost her image.

He also branded her “dangerous” and a “villain” and claimed she “sacrificed him” to improve her reputation – allegations that will likely be explored in the new show.

A TV insider said this The sun: 'While this documentary will focus on different elements of Camilla as our new queen, her dynamic with Harry will be addressed in the new show.

'That's probably one of the topics that gets the most attention and these Channel 4 documentaries about the royal family are not afraid to go where other profiles are often afraid to tread.

“These shows have proven in the past that they can cause a chain reaction that can lead to further revelations and cause major controversy.”

The documentary is separate from another which will star Camilla about domestic and sexual abuse, made by production company Love Monday and in which Her Majesty was followed by a film crew at several recent events.

In Spare, Harry wrote of Camilla: 'I have complex feelings about gaining a stepparent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar.'

Harry also said that he and his brother Prince William had “begged” their father, King Charles III, and then Prince Charles, not to marry Camilla because they feared she would become their “evil stepmother.”

In a further blow, Harry described Camilla as 'dangerous' and a 'villain' who left 'bodies in the streets' in her desire to change the public's perception of her.

In a TV interview to promote the book last January with Anderson Cooper on the CBS News show 60 Minutes, Harry expanded on his claims.

The Duke said: 'She was a third person in them [my parents’] marriage, she had to rehabilitate her image.

'That made her dangerous because of the connections she was forging within the British press.

“Because of the connections she was forging, there was an open willingness on both sides to exchange information.

“And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on her way to becoming queen consort, that would leave people or bodies on the streets.”

Three months after the book's publication in April, an aide told The Sunday Times of Camilla's reaction to Harry's claims: “It wasn't stamping feet or grinding teeth – it was much more of an eye-rolling response.”

Camilla's close friend Fiona Shelburne, Lady Lansdowne, also told the newspaper: 'Of course it bothers her, of course it hurts.

'But she doesn't let it get to her heart. Her philosophy is always: 'Don't make a big deal of it, and you will be fine, at least the quickest to recover.' '

It comes after Channel 4 documentary Diana: The Truth Behind The Interview in October 2020 looked at allegations that Martin Bashir used forged bank statements to convince Princess Diana to carry out her famous interview with Panorama in 1995.

This prompted an investigation which found in May 2021 that the BBC failed to meet 'high standards of integrity and transparency' and that Mr Bashir acted 'deceptively'. It was also found that an internal investigation by the BBC in 1996 was 'woefully ineffective'.

MailOnline has contacted Channel 4 for comment on the new Camilla programme.
