Meet Queen Camilla’s 5 Grandkids, Including the Blonde Twins Who Are Now Teenagers

Camilla, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom, is a mom of two and a grandmother of five. She embraced her role as a mom and grandma, doting on her loved ones. The former Duchess of Cornwall, who has opened up about being a grandmother, cherishes her grandkids as much as they treasure her.

Camilla gave birth to her first child, Thomas ‘Tom’ Henry Charles on December 18, 1974. She then requested King Charles III to become the boy’s godfather and he accepted in February 1975. Camilla and Charles had previously dated and even when she was pregnant with Tom, the two were in contact.

Camilla is now a mother of two as after Tom was born, she and her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, welcomed their second child, Laura Lopes. As much as Camilla is now married to King Charles and her official title changed, her kids with Tom were not given any royal titles.

When Tom was asked how it felt being part of the British Royal Family, he answered that the kids weren’t a part of the establishment just their mother. “We are the common children,” he noted, “we’re just on the sides.”

Tom and Laura value their privacy and live relatively low-key lives. Tom is an internationally renowned food writer and an author while Laura, born on January 1, 1978, is a former art curator, who isn’t in the public’s eyes much, compared to her brother. Now, Tom and Laura have blessed their mother, Camilla, with five grandchildren, who call her “Gaga.”

Lola Parker Bowles

Lola Rosalind Parker Bowles, the daughter of Tom Parker Bowles and his wife Sara Buys, was born on October 9, 2007. She is the first grandchild of Camilla. Two days after Lola was born, Camilla went to visit her granddaughter.

During this visit, Camilla was met by Sara and the sleeping Lola in her arms. As much as the visit was brief because Camilla was avoiding tiring out the mother and newborn, she proudly showed off her granddaughter, to her bodyguard and driver.

A passerby said Camilla looked really happy as she beamed at her granddaughter. Tom and Sara were married for almost two years before having their first baby, Lola, who is now 16. Camilla’s son worked as a newspaper columnist and food editor while his wife was a fashion journalist.

Freddy Parker Bowles

Tom and Sara welcomed their second child, Freddy Parker Bowles in 2010. The two parted ways a few years later. Still, Camilla is close with her grandchildren. During the royal coronation in 2023, Camilla was pictured talking to Freddy on the Buckingham Palace balcony in London.

Grandmother and grandson, 14, seemed to share an easy rapport during this special celebration. Camilla was pointing at something in the distance and Freddy was attentively listening to his grandmother. The little boy has grown into a tall and handsome teenager.

Eliza Lopes

Before Freddy was born, Camilla was blessed with her second grandchild, Eliza Lopes. Camilla’s daughter, Laura Lopes, and her husband Harry Lopes, welcomed their first child Eliza on January 16, 2008, in London.

Camilla was overjoyed to welcome another granddaughter and went to visit her too. A few years after she was born, Eliza became one of the bridesmaids at Prince William and Princess Catherine’s wedding, which took place on April 29, 2011.

Eliza, who was only three when she took on the role of flower girl at the royal wedding, is now 16. During the coronation of Camilla and King Charles, Eliza joined Prince William and Princess Catherine, who were in royal robes, for the celebrations.

People who saw how Eliza looks today pointed out how much she had grown compared to when she was a flower girl. “She grew up lots, isn’t she?” asked a surprised fan. Others noted that they weren’t aware she was related to Camilla. “I didn’t know she was Camilla’s gd, assumed they bridesmaids were all children of their friends,” said a user.

“Wow I wondered who this lovely girl was! I thought she looked lovely,” wrote a fan, who praised Eliza’s beauty. Another fan agreed, “She looks so lovely.” Camilla treasures her beautiful grandchildren, including her twin grandkids, whom she is blessed to have.

Louis and Gus Lopes

Queen Camilla was absolutely delighted when Laura and Harry welcomed twin sons. She spent the day at her daughter’s bedside in the hospital where Louis and Gus Lopes were delivered on December 30, 2009.

Laura was surprised when she was told she was expecting twins as they had never had them in the family before. However, Camilla was excited and couldn’t wait to meet Louis and Gus who are non-identical. After the twins, who are blonde, were born, Camilla jokingly referred to Louis as quite a handful.

Gus and Louis were responsible for holding Camilla’s Coronation robes, which weighed approximately 15 pounds, during the ceremony. Gus, a Page of Honor at the Coronation, was forced to carry his duties one-handed due to an accident he was involved in while on holiday. He was pictured with his right arm in a sling while on rehearsals.

Queen Camilla and King Charles as Grandparents

As much as Camilla’s son Tom Henry Charles, and his ex-wife Sara parted ways, she has spoken positively of the family. Sara, who is fond of her former mother-in-law, described Camilla as an exceptional grandmother, deeply involved in her grandchildren’s lives.

She emphasized Camilla’s consistently kind demeanor towards her and praised her hands-on approach. Sara highlighted that any disagreements she may have with her ex-husband, Tom, remained private, underscoring the enduring importance of Camilla’s relationship with her grandchildren.

Camilla has also spoken out about having fun with her grandkids. She once revealed that she does Wordle every day with one of her granddaughters. “She’ll text me to say, ‘I have 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,” admitted Camilla.

King Charles has also been lauded as an amazing grandparent. Camilla described how he willingly gets down on his knees to play with her grandchildren for hours, entertaining them with funny noises and laughter.

Camilla emphasized that her grandchildren absolutely adore him, adding that he’s skilled at reading Harry Potter aloud, effortlessly adopting the various character voices, which she believes children truly appreciate.

Camilla is doing great in her role as a grandmother. Her grandkids are growing up fast, now in their teenage years. The mom of two is blessed to have King Charles by her side, who is also a wonderful grandfather. The two include their grandkids in their special events and dote on them.
