Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall isn’t just a stepmother to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex; she has two children of her own. Ahead, check out photographs of Camilla with her kids.
Camilla Parker Bowles had two children with her ex-husband
Before Camilla became the Duchess of Cornwall in 2005 when she married Charles, Prince of Wales, and gained two stepsons, she’d already been a mother for decades. Camilla and her first husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, a now-retired officer of the British army, had two children together following their marriage in 1973.
A year after their nuptials, Camilla and Parker Bowles welcomed their first child, Tom Parker Bowles. Tom, now 45, is a successful cookbook author, food writer, and food critic. Camilla and Parker Bowles then welcomed a daughter, Laura Parker Bowles — now Laura Lopes — in 1978. An art curator, today Laura is 42 years old. They don’t have royal titles but Laura and Tom are known to lead pretty lavish lifestyles rubbing elbows with celebrities.
