Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Queen Camilla may be step-grandmother to both Prince William and Prince Harry’s children, the 76-year-old also has five rarely-seen grandchildren of her own.
Through her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles, Camilla has two children – son Tom Parker Bowles, 49, and daughter Laura Lopes, 46.
Tom married Sara Buys in 2005 – and went on to welcome two children together, daughter Lola in 2007 and son Freddy in 2010. The pair have since separated. Tom began dating Alice Procope in 2019, who sadly died after a battle with cancer in 2021.
Laura married Harry Lopes in 2006 and the pair now share three children, daughter Eliza and twin sons, Gus and Louis.
Here Express.co.uk looks into who Camilla’s five grandchildren are, all of whom royal fans know very little about.
Lola, who was born in 2007, is the eldest of Camilla’s grandchildren, with her brother Freddy being the youngest of the five.
The 16-year-old, the daughter of Tom and his ex-wife Sara, is likely the grandchild that Camilla referred to in her 2022 interview with British Vogue.
Speaking of her granddaughter, Camilla said: “I do wordle every day with my granddaughter. She’ll text me to say, ‘I’ve done it in three’, and I say, ‘Sorry, I’ve done it in two today.’ It’s very satisfactory when it tells you how brilliant you are.”
Just two months younger than his twin cousins, Freddy is now 14 – and the youngest child of Tom and Sara. Freddy joined his cousins, Gus and Louis at their grandmother’s Coronation ceremony in May 2023.
It was previously revealed that Freddy and Lola referred to Camilla as ‘Gaga’.
Born just a few months after Lola, Eliza is Camilla’s youngest granddaughter – and only daughter of Laura and Harry.
Now aged 16, Eliza is likely the most-known of the Queen’s grandchildren as she appeared as a bridesmaid at the Prince and Princess of Wales’s wedding in 2011.
Speaking of her two beloved granddaughters, Camilla revealed in 2022 that both of them “are beginning to get into clothes and make-up”.
She added: “…it’s rather frightening when you see them, coming out with pierced ears and a lot of new make-up and funny-coloured hair and stuff.”
Gus and Louis were born in 2009 – just one year after their elder sister, Eliza.
Unlike Eliza, the twins are yet to make an appearance at a royal wedding but Queen Camilla previously opened up that she loves to keep in contact with her grandchildren via text messages.
Speaking in 2022, Camilla said: “It’s very nice getting a text. We learn from very young people and they learn from us, too. That’s the way it’s always been.”
Gus and Louis both appeared as their grandmother’s pages of honour at the royal coronation last year, alongside Freddy.
Although they made an appearance, fans couldn’t help but notice Gus’s broken arm.
