The queen consort decided to break the tradition of a royal coronation in May.
King Charles and his wife decided that her grandchildren, who were largely kept out of the public eye, would be included in the Westminster Abbey service at the coronation on 6 May. Hello writes about it.
Carl’s eldest grandson, Prince George, will also reportedly take part in the historic event.
The decision sends a strong signal of unity and highlights the couple’s blended family: both are divorced and both have children.
Camille is a very proud grandmother of five grandchildren. Her son Tom Parker Bowles has 15-year-old Lola and 13-year-old Freddie, while her daughter Laura Lopez has 15-year-old Eliza and 13-year-old twins Louis and Gus.

She has a very strong bond with teenagers who call her “Gaga”. So does her husband, who read them stories from the Harry Potter series and even entertained them with displays.
Camille is believed to have cutely referenced granddaughter Lola during an interview with Vogue in 2022, when she revealed, “I do Wordle with my granddaughter every day. She texts me, ‘I did it in three,’ and I reply, ‘Sorry. , I did it today in two. “It’s very nice when they tell you how brilliant you are!”
In addition, in 2011, Eliza was honored to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate. The photo shows how she was picked up by her step-grandfather, then Prince Charles, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace so that the girl could see the huge crowds.

The queen consort also spoke about her regular contact with her grandchildren.
“It’s great to get the message,” she said. We’re learning from young people and they’re learning from us too. It’s always been that way.
And in an interview with Mail+ to celebrate her 75th birthday, the then Duchess of Cornwall shared that her grandchildren introduced her to the Houseparty group chat app, which lets up to eight people chat. Camille also revealed that her younger relatives showed her how to use TikTok, which skyrocketed in popularity at the start of the pandemic.
Camilla shares her children Tom and Laura with her ex-husband Andrew Parker-Bowles. The former couple were married from 1973 to 1995 and remained on good terms after their divorce.

Recall that the wife of Charles III is still called the “Queen Consort”, but will soon receive an updated title.
Focus also wrote that Queen Camilla chose Princess Diana’s favorite designer to sew the coronation dress.
