He has spent virtually his entire life waiting to succeed his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, even as he took on more of her duties and responsibilities as she aged.

Prince Harry claims he and William begged Charles not to marry Camilla over fears she would be their wicked stepmother.

In an explosive section of his biography Spare, the Duke of Sussex relives the moment he was introduced to the now-Queen Consort for the first time, The Sun reports.

Harry says he and his brother were aware of Camilla as the “other woman” and both had separate meetings with her before she officially joined the family.

Incredibly, he compared seeing her for the first time to avoiding pain while getting an injection.

He writes: “This is nothing. Close your eyes and you won’t even feel it.”

Revealing the private meeting, the prince claims Camilla appeared “bored”, saying it was “pure formality” as he was not the heir or a major obstacle.

They did, however, have small chat about horses, he says.

Also in the book, Harry alleges he pondered whether Camilla would one day be his “wicked stepmother”.

But he claims he and his brother were willing to forgive her in “their hearts” if she could make Charles happy.

The duke writes: “We saw that like us, he wasn’t.

“We could recognise the absent glances, the empty sighs, the frustration always visible on his face.”

He adds that he and William promised their dad they would welcome Camilla into the family - but the only thing they asked in exchange is that he didn’t marry her.

Harry claims they approved of her but “begged” Charles not to wed for a second time after the death of their mother Diana.

Charles did not respond, he alleges.

Both brothers feared she would be unfairly compared to the people’s princess, the book states.

Harry also claims that despite their protestations, a campaign began for the marriage to happen and for Camilla to become Queen.

In another bombshell, he accuses Camilla of leaking details of her conversation with William to the press.

Speaking about Charles, he says his father opened up about being bullied at school and “nearly never made it”, but carried teddies around all the time to cope.

Charles married Camilla in 2005 and last year Queen Elizabeth II said it was her sincere wish for Camilla to take on the title Queen Consort.
