Who are Camilla's children? What to know about the queen consort's kids

On September 8, Camilla officially became queen consort when Charles’ mom, Queen Elizabeth II, died at age 96.

After Charles ascended to the throne, Buckingham Palace started planning his and Camilla's coronation, which will take place on Saturday, May 6. Camilla is now known as Queen Camilla.

While Camilla's kids, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes, have yet to reveal if they're going or not, you can bet they'll still support their mother no matter what.

Camilla shares her children with her ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, whom she was married to from 1973 to 1995. After they divorced, she went on to marry King Charles III in 2005, and her children were present at the ceremony.

In Seasons Three and Four of "The Crown," Camilla's life was documented when actor Emerald Fennell portrayed the future queen consort of the United Kingdom.

In 2018, Camilla’s nephew, Ben Elliot, told Vanity Fair that his aunt privately confessed to watching "The Crown" and did very much like it.

In March, Camilla met Fennell during a reception to mark International Women’s Day at Clarence House.

While chatting with journalist Georgie Prodromou, Fennell revealed what it was like to meet Camilla in person.

“It was particularly nice to meet her today on International Women’s Day because, you know, she does so much for so many particularly female charities, so yeah, it's just amazing," she said.

“I was nervous I might be thrown in the Tower — but so far, so good," Fennell jokingly added.

Although Camilla is married into the royal family, her children are not in the line of succession and do not have any royal titles. "We're commoners," Tom Parker Bowles said during an interview with A Current Affair in 2015.

Here are more details about Camilla's two kids.

Tom Parker Bowles

In 1974, Camilla and her then-husband, Andrew, welcomed their first child, Tom Parker Bowles. Charles is both Tom's godfather and stepfather, per Tina Brown's "The Palace Papers."

Tom Parker Bowles is an award-winning food writer who has authored several cookbooks, including 2012's "Let's Eat: Recipes from My Kitchen Notebook" and 2021's "Fortnum & Mason: Time for Tea."

In a 2017 interview with The Daily Telegraph, he revealed how he became a food writer.

“I was pretty s--- at most things,” he said. “I was naughty, partied a bit hard. When I was younger I got sacked all the time. But I loved eating and could just about string a sentence together, so I thought I could write about food.”

The New York Times described Parker Bowles' food writing as follows: "His sense of humor is intact throughout and never sharper than when he’s writing about himself, whom he portrays as a callow Englishman with a crush on America and a tourist’s eagerness to fit in by speaking the lingo."

He has a son, Freddy, and a daughter, Lola, per Tatler.

Ahead of the coronation, Tom Parker Bowles told the News Agents podcast that his mother "married the person she loves."

“I don’t care what anyone says, this wasn’t any sort of endgame. She married the person she loved and this is what happened," he said.

Laura Lopes

Laura Lopes is Camilla and Andrew's second child, born in 1978.

In 2006, Lopes married her husband, Harry Lopes, a former Calvin Klein model and accountant, per Tatler. Wedding guests included King Charles III and the former Kate Middleton.

Lopes has three children, a daughter named Eliza and twin sons Gus and Louis, per Tatler.
