Queen Camilla's ex daughter-in-law reveals rare details about their relationship

Queen Camilla, a prominent figure in the British monarchy, is known for her busy schedule filled with royal engagements and responsibilities. But beneath her royal role, there's something special to discover. In a rare glimpse into her private world, we see Queen Camilla embracing a role that transcends the grandeur of her royal status – that of a grandmother.

What kind of granny is the Queen?

Sara Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla's former daughter-in-law, recently appeared on the UK talk show Lorraine, where she shared heartfelt insights into the Queen's role as a grandmother. According to Sara, Queen Camilla is an exceptional and hands-on granny who is deeply involved in her grandchildren's lives.

Sara, who was previously married to Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, and has two children with him, daughter Lola, 16, and son Freddy, 13, spoke affectionately about the Queen's devotion to her grandkids. 'She's an amazing granny. She's really hands-on, and she's really into it,' Sara said when asked about the kind of grandmother Queen Camilla is.

According to Sara, until last year, Lola and Freddy had no idea that their grandmother would ever be Queen of England.

Furthermore, Sara revealed Queen Camilla's shared interests with her granddaughters. 'She wants to know everything that they're into. She loves jewelry, and she's really knowledgeable about it,' Sara explained. The Queen's fondness for jewelry resonated with Lola, who shares this passion, making their chats even more special.

Special interest that transcend generations

During the interview, Sara highlighted a charming moment when Queen Camilla's bond with her granddaughters became apparent. Queen Camilla, aged 76, showcased her close relationship with her granddaughters while visiting the jewelry studio of Monica Vinader in Norfolk back in June. 'My grandchildren — well, my granddaughters — are incredibly jealous of me being here today,' Queen Camilla remarked during her visit, as reported by Hello!. 'They follow you [on social media]. When they found out that I was coming here, they started dropping quite a lot of hints about things they would like for their birthdays.'

Sara, a respected fashion editor, also provided her thoughts on Queen Camilla's style evolution over the years. She noted that the Queen has grown more comfortable and confident with fashion as time has passed. 'I do. I think she's having fun with it, and I think it really shows,' the Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar alum said. She praised Queen Camilla for embracing her style naturally and finding her unique fashion voice, which has become more refined with time.

Sara shared her preference for Queen Camilla's black outfits and admired her Dior suit worn at Royal Ascot, highlighting that the Queen looks 'amazing in all black.'

In addition to discussing Queen Camilla's grandmotherly side and style evolution, Sara Parker Bowles recently opened up about her children's close relationship with their grandmother, who also happens to be the Queen. Her children, including Freddy and Lola, affectionately refer to Queen Camilla as 'Gaga' and have remained relatively unaffected by her royal status. The family enjoys spending time together, often vacationing at Balmoral, as per The Express.
