Camilla visited Manchester on Tuesday for the launch of a photography exhibition featuring portraits of domestic abuse survivors. Portraits, shot by acclaimed photographer Allie Crewe, can be seen at St Peter’s Square and at 150 Metrolink tram stops throughout May. The Duchess of Cornwall, who is a patron of domestic abuse charity SafeLives, described the exhibition as “extraordinary, and profoundly touching”.
Camilla has vowed to continue her fight against domestic violence when she becomes Queen Consort, a title once ruled out for the Duchess but recently endorsed by the Queen.
Her Majesty expressed her “sincere wish” for the Duchess to be named Queen Consort once Prince Charles becomes king in her Accession Day statement earlier this year. 
However, it has been suggested that Charles’ youngest son, Prince Harry, is not onboard with Camilla’s future title and is reportedly refusing to attend his father’s coronation as a result.
Christopher Andersen, author of ‘Brothers and Wives’, told The Daily Beast last week that watching Camilla be crowned as Queen Consort would be “too much to bear” for the Duke of Sussex.

“William and Harry believed him, and now, for Harry at least, the prospect of watching while Camilla is crowned alongside Charles at Westminster Abbey — on the very spot where Diana’s funeral was held in 1997 — is just too much to bear.”
He continued: “Harry would logically view it as a callous betrayal of his mother’s memory. 
“Now that he’s outside looking in, he has a clearer view of things — he is seeing the world through a wider lens than the rest of his family. “And what he sees is that, simply put, the woman who caused his mother so much pain and ultimately broke up his parents’ marriage stands to become Queen Camilla. 
“This may well be something that Meghan, as an American who followed Diana’s story closely, feels strongly about as well. 
“Even if Camilla’s being crowned queen is inevitable, Harry may not feel the need to actually be there watching it happen.”
Camilla and Charles’ relationship became public knowledge when tapes of an intimate phone call between the pair were leaked in January 1993.

Both the Prince and Princess of Wales had endured an unhappy marriage and engaged in extramarital affairs. By the time of their divorce in 1996, the pair’s tumultuous relationship was in the public sphere and both parties had taken part in a war of words within the press.
However, in the year that followed, Diana continued her royal work and was an advocate for important issues. 
In 1997, the princess travelled to Angola and Botswana to champion an international treaty that would ban landmines.Photos of Diana walking through cleared minefields garnered international attention. 
Tragically, Diana died just months later in a car crash in Paris. 
Her son, Harry, visited Botswana shortly after her death and said that his trip helped him deal with the loss.
More recently, the Duke of Sussex opened up on the impact his mother has on his current life.
Speaking toHoda Kotb from NBC News morning show Today during the Invictus Games, Harry said that he feels his mother’s presence “more so than ever before”.He explained: “It is almost as though she’s done her bit with my brother and now she’s very much, like, helping me. Got him set up. And now she’s helping me set up. That’s what it feels like, you know?”
He added: “He’s got his kids. I’ve got my kids, you know the circumstances are obviously different. 
“But now, I feel her presence in almost everything that I do now. But definitely more so in the last two years than ever before. 
“Without question. So she’s watching over us.”
