<p id=”par-1_57″>After stepping down from his role within the royal family, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/prince-harry/?swcfpc=1″>Prince Harry</a> made his feelings about his stepmother, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/camilla-parker-bowles/?swcfpc=1″>Queen Camilla</a>, quite clear. During the promotional tour for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harrys-memoir-spare-now-become-one-most-discarded-books-time.html/?swcfpc=1″>his memoir <em>Spare</em></a>, the duke claimed that his stepmom was “dangerous” and in his book labeled her a “villain” who he “thought had sacrificed [him] on her personal PR altar.”</p>
<p id=”par-2_21″>Something that remains a bit of a mystery though is what <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/”>Harry’s wife</a> Meghan’s relationship with Queen Camilla was like. </p>
<p id=”par-3_30″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/meghan-markle-getting-residual-checks-suits-surprise-streaming-success.html/”>former <em>Suits</em> star</a> hasn’t said much of anything about Camilla, but now something she posted has many royal watchers convinced she’s extending an olive branch to the queen. </p>
<p id=”par-4_14″>Here’s more on that, and how Camilla may celebrate her birthday this year. </p>

<p id=”par-5_29″>As the queen marked her 78th birthday on July 17, her estranged daughter-in-law took to her <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/meghan/?hl=en” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> Stories with a birthday message that some believe was for Camilla. </p>
<p id=”par-6_36″>“Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies,” Meghan wrote. The message was posted with a white heart emoji and bottles of the duchess’s As Ever rosé wine in baskets and gift boxes. </p>
<p id=”par-7_69″>Meghan did not mention who the wine was for or any information about where she was sending it, so it could just simply be PR for the rosé . But some fans are hopeful that perhaps the former working royal is attempting to send an olive branch to the queen after it was leaked that Harry’s senior aides <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/reconciliation-prince-harry-king-charles-jeopardy-following-leaked-details-peace-meeting-aides-both-sides.html/?swcfpc=1″>had a meeting</a> with King Charles’ rep about a “peace summit.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_34″>As for Camilla’s other stepchildren, the Prince and Princess of Wales, they sent her public wishes on her special day via <a href=”https://x.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/1945772002016465034″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>social media</a>, writing: “Happy Birthday to Her Majesty!” with a cake emoji. </p>

<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet” data-width=”550″ data-dnt=”true”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Thank you for the wonderful well wishes on Her Majesty’s 78th birthday today! <img src=”https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72×72/1f388.png” alt=”🎈” class=”wp-smiley” style=”height: 1em; max-height: 1em;” /> <a href=”https://t.co/AxPJvp5VMK”>pic.twitter.com/AxPJvp5VMK</a></p>— The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) <a href=”https://twitter.com/RoyalFamily/status/1945779043829227918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>July 17, 2025</a></blockquote><script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>

<p id=”par-10_49″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.primecasino.co.uk/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Prime Casino</a>, Stooks told Showbiz Cheat Sheet: “With Camilla’s birthday, she is quite a home and family-oriented person. She does really love having her family around. A perfect birthday for her would be having her children and rest of her family around, and her husband. </p>
<p id=”par-11_49″>“If she’s in London, it will likely be with her husband and they might just have a nice private dinner at one of the royal residences. But if she’s at Raymill at home, she may have her daughter or son around. She also loves cooking; she’s a great cook.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_19″>Stooks talked about what type of gifts King Charles would give to his wife on her birthday as well.</p>
<p id=”par-13_62″>“Giftwise, she will probably be given just some jewellery from Charles,” Stooks said before adding, “Or she might not necessarily want anything too much. Perhaps just a nice dinner and some flowers, something nice for her garden at Raymill, like a nice tree or a shrub. They don’t like extravagant gifts, they’re quite lowkey and they don’t have that way about them.”</p>
