Camilla and Charles maintained a relationship in the seventies that was interrupted when the then Prince of Wales had to leave for six months to fulfill his military service.
Camilla, in the absence of Charles decided to marry Major Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973, thus leaving her maiden name, Shand, and changing it to Camilla Parker Bowles. From this marriage, which lasted 22 years, two children were born.
Camilla’s children led a discreet life, but when she made her relationship with Charles official, interest grew to know more about them.
Who are the children of Queen Camilla?
Camilla’s children are Tom Parker Bowles, 48, and Laura Parker Bowles, 45. They officially became known on April 9, 2005, when Charles and Camilla married at Windsor Town Hall and as guests of honor were the children of both.
