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 scooped the world by getting hold of a Spanish copy of the book, out on January 10, everyone wants to read today.
The Sun has translated text from the Spanish edition after the original biography was written in English, therefore the quotes may not be exact.
We can reveal 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 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.
What we've learned since Harry's bombshell book was leaked:
- Prince Harry claimed his brother William 'attacked' him in a row over Meghan Markle
- Harry called his therapist instead of Meghan after the confrontation with his brother
- Charles pleaded with Harry and William not to 'make his final years a misery'
- The Duke of Sussex revealed the nicknames he uses with William
- Harry claimed William and Kate Middleton encouraged him to wear the infamous Nazi uniform
- The duke said he does want to go to King Charles' coronation, a trailer for his ITV interview has revealed
- Breaking cover just hours before the explosive claims were revealed, Harry was seen on a dog walk
- Harry accused Camilla of leaking stories & claimed she launched a campaign to marry Charles and get the crown
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.
Harry had promised to tell all in his autobiography Spare, ghost-written by J R Moehringer.
He is expected to reveal more than his Netflix series did about the way he feels he has been treated by his family.
In an extract obtained by The Guardian, Harry claims his brother "knocked him to the floor" during an argument about Meghan Markle.
He accused William of branding the former actress "rude" before grabbing him by the collar, ripping his necklace and sending him crashing down on top of a dog bowl.
The dad-of-two has already attacked the Firm in two TV interviews with ITV and CBS ahead of the book's launch.
In a clip from a chat with Tom Bradby, which airs on Sunday, the duke says he wants his father and brother back - but he wants "a family not an institution".
He also reveals how he wants to go to the King's coronation but "the ball is in their court".
And talking to Anderson Cooper, Harry says the family motto is: "Never complain, never explain."
This story is based off a translated version of Harry’s book Spare.
