Queen Camilla understands the boundaries that her husband, King Charles, has when it comes to his grandchildren.
In a recent interview, royal biographer Robert Hardman revealed that Queen Camilla is very respectful of King Charles’ wishes and doesn’t want to intrude on his space with her own grandchildren.
Having two children from her previous marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles, Laura Lopez and Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla became a stepmother to them when she married King Charles in 2005.
According to Hardman, Queen Camilla values her own family and doesn’t want to put pressure on herself to be involved with King Charles’ grandchildren.
She understands the importance of their relationship and respects his boundaries.
Mr. Hardman further explained that King Charles is a doting grandfather to Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
He spends a significant amount of time at Windsor, which is near the residence of the prince and princess of Wales.
Previously, there was less overlap between King Charles and the younger members of the family, but now with their move to Adelaide Country House near Windsor Castle, there is more opportunity for them to spend time together.
Adelaide Cottage, where the prince and princess of Wales now reside, is a four-bedroom cottage that was once the home of Captain Peter Townsend, a former friend of Princess Margaret.
This move has brought the family closer together, and Queen Camilla appreciates the increased closeness between King Charles and their grandchildren.
At 76 years old, Queen Camilla has five grandchildren through her children, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopez.
Her three grandchildren had the honor of being pages at King Charles’ coronation in May 2023.
While Tom has made a name for himself as a columnist, food writer, and broadcaster, Laura is still less known, having studied art history and marketing at Oxford Brookes University.
Currently, King Charles is undergoing treatment for an enlarged prostate at the London Clinic in Marylebone.
Queen Camilla has been by his side, supporting him during this time.
As he prepared to go to the hospital, she attended several engagements in Swindon and London, showing her commitment to her role as a supportive wife.
In conclusion, Queen Camilla understands and respects King Charles’ boundaries as a grandfather.
She values her own family but also recognizes the importance of the relationship between King Charles and their grandchildren.
With their recent move to Adelaide Country House, there is more opportunity for them to spend time together, creating a closer bond.
Queen Camilla continues to support her husband during his medical treatment, showing her dedication to their marriage.
