Prince Harry wanted to keep his distance from stepmother Queen Camilla during his whirlwind trip to the UK last week, according to her longtime friend.The Duke of Sussex’s blink-and-you-miss-it trip to London last week saw him spend a total of 24 hours on home soil, less than an hour of which was spent with his cancer-stricken father, King Charles III.And according to Camilla’s longtime pal Petronella Wyatt, Harry “preferred not to be in the same room with his stepmother when he spoke to the King about his cancer diagnosis,” she wrote for The Telegraph.The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.Harry’s feelings for Camilla, 76, were laid bare in his protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare,” released last year, in which he sensationally branded her “dangerous” and “the villain.”The father of two also claimed that his stepmother leaked stories about the royal family to the media to maintain her image and boost her popularity.In the eyebrow-raising book, the duke wrote, “I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal P.R.

altar.”He said that meeting Camilla – referred to as the “other woman” in his book – was like an “injection,” writing, “Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it.”“I remember wondering… if she would be cruel to me; if she would be like all the evil stepmothers in the stories.”Harry, 39, said that Camilla’s need to rehabilitate her image from being a “villain” in the British press made her “dangerous” to him “because of the connections that she was forging within the British press.”The revelations left Camilla “hurt,” her pal later revealed.Harry later added fuel to the fire by revealing that he and his brother, Prince William,.
