Camilla is grandmother to five grandchildren from her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles. Camilla married Andrew in 1973, and they had two children, Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes. Laura has three children, Eliza, and twins Gus and Louis, while Tom has two children, Lola and Freddy. Photos of the children have been spotted in the Duchess' Birkhall living room and office as she carried out her royal duties remotely by telephone and video calls during lockdown.
Charles, who is a grandfather to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie, did not confirm whether he had seen any family members after lockdown measures were eased. William and Kate have remained at their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, while Harry and Meghan are currently living in Los Angeles.
