Queen Elizabeth had plenty of descendants, with four children, eight grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren to her name. But, as a grandmother, Queen Camilla, has an even more voluminous family tree. Not only is the royal a step-grandmother to Charles's five grandchildren, she also has five grandkids of her own through her children from her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles.
At her coronation, her dress featured a tribute to her grandchildren, with their names embroidered throughout:
Here, we break down the who's who of the Queen's grandchildren.
Lola Parker Bowles
The eldest of Camilla's grandchildren, Lola is the daughter of Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, and his wife, Sarah Parker Bowles. She was born in 2007 and may be the grandchild that Camilla referred to in her 2022 interview with British Vogue when she revealed that she was a Wordle fan. “I do Wordle every day with my granddaughter," Camilla said. "She’ll text me to say, ‘I’ve done it in three’, and I say, ‘Sorry, I’ve done it in two today.’ It’s very satisfactory when it tells you how brilliant you are."
Eliza Lopes
Born the year after Lola, Eliza is Camilla's only other granddaughter (and therefore another possible Wordle compatriot). Aged 15, she's the daughter of Camilla's daughter Laura Lopes and her husband Harry Lopes, but she was still a toddler when she became perhaps the best-known of Camilla's biological grandchildren when she appeared in Prince William and Kate Middleton's 2011 wedding.
"The girls are beginning to get into clothes and make-up and, you know, it’s rather frightening when you see them, coming out with pierced ears and a lot of new make-up and funny-coloured hair and stuff," Camilla told British Vogue in 2022. She also revealed in the same interview that she sometimes picks up one of the girls from her school near Camilla's home in Wiltshire, though it's not clear which one.
Louis and Gus Lopes
Eliza's younger brothers, the twins, were born in 2009 to Laura and Harry Lopes. While they may not have made a royal wedding appearance like their big sister, it seems they're likely keeping close tabs on their royal grandma. Camilla told British Vogue that she frequently texts with her grandkids, saying, "It’s very nice getting a text. We learn from very young people and they learn from us, too. That’s the way it’s always been." Gus and Louis served as pages of honor at their grandmother's coronation along with their cousin Freddy—even Gus's broken arm couldn't keep him away from the big day.
Freddy Parker Bowles
Just under a year younger than Louis and Gus, Freddy is the youngest of Camilla's biological grandchildren. His father is Tom Parker Bowles and his mother is Sarah Parker Bowles. Freddy joined his cousins Gus and Louis as pages of honor at his grandmother's historic coronation.
Recently, his mom Sara revealed that Lola and Freddy call their grandmother "Gaga."
Prince George
While Camilla might not share a gene pool with the eldest of the Wales kids, she had already been married to George's grandfather, King Charles, for years by the time George was born in 2013 and is regularly seen with the young royal at family events.
Princess Charlotte
The Prince and Princess of Wales's only daughter, Princess Charlotte is often seen chatting with her step-grandmother Camilla at royal events.
Prince Louis
That's right, Camilla has two grandkids named Louis. In this case, Louis is Prince William and Kate Middleton's youngest, but at six years old, he's already a scene-stealer.
Prince Archie Harrison
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's first child, Archie, lives in California with his parents, so he doesn't get to see his step-grandmother as often as his UK cousins. However, he did accompany his parents for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, and may have seen Camilla then.
Princess Lilibet “Lili” Diana
The Sussex's youngest child, Lili got to meet her extended royal family for the first time during the Platinum Jubilee, though it hasn't been officially confirmed whether she and Camilla got any face time.
