In Harry and William, writer Katie Nicholl claims that William struggled with the new family dynamic once Camilla and Charles got together. His anger wasn’t just reserved for Camilla; according to Nicholl, he would get into “terrible fights” with Camilla’s daughter, Laura.
Nicholl wrote, “William and Laura used to have terrible fights over who was to blame for their broken homes.”
She also quoted a family friend, who told her: “William would blame Camilla for all the hurt she had caused his mother, which would send Laura into a rage.”

Apparently, Laura had her own issues with the new family situation, telling William, “Your father has ruined my life.”
Charles and Camilla were romantically involved for years, even when they were both married to other people (Andrew Parker Bowles and Princess Diana, respectively). Camilla and her ex divorced in 1995, with Charles and Diana’s marriage officially ending the following year.
