Before joining the British royal family by marrying Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, who celebrates her 73rd birthday this Friday, July 17, lived with another man.

From her first union with Andrew Parker Bowles, two children were born: Thomas (45) and Laura (42).

On the arm of Prince Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles shines.

But before joining the British royal family by saying "yes" to her great love in 2005, the Duchess of Cornwall, who is celebrating her 73rd birthday this Friday, July 17, lived in a relationship with another man

From 1973 to 1995, that is for more than twenty years, she was married to Andrew Parker Bowles , a now retired British Army officer.

The latter gave him two children : Thomas (now 45 years old) and Laura (42 years old). Unlike their mother, these two preferred to stay away from the Crown .

The eldest, who apparently enjoyed his youth, became a British food writer and critic.

Cooking came very early in the life of Thomas, who quickly decided to devote all his time to it, after leaving school.

During his career, he has written seven cookbooks and was awarded the Guild of Food Writers award in 2010 for his work on British cuisine. He has also appeared as a judge on several food shows .

On the private side, the son of Camilla Parker Bowles has been married since 2005 to Sara Buys , deputy editor of Harpers & Queenand editor of Town & Country. Together, they had two children: Lola (12 years old) and Freddy (10 years old).

His sister, Laura, has taken on a completely different career. After studying art history and marketing at Oxford Brookes University , she became director of the Space Gallery in London's affluent Belgravia. She then worked for the Eleven gallery in London, which she also managed.

Since 2006, she has been married to Harry Lopes, a former model turned lawyer , who gave her three children : a little girl named Eliza (12 years old) then twins, Gus and Louis (10 years old). Princes William and Harry had also attended the wedding of Camilla's daughter .

**On April 9, 2005, Thomas and Laura attended the wedding of Camilla Parker-Bowles and Prince Charles, alongside Princes William and Harry.**

The children of Camilla Parker Bowles cultivate a certain discretion

If she was one of the bridesmaids at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey, Laura, like her brother, preferred to follow her path, far from the British royal family . Both have cultivated a certain discretion vis-à-vis the new life of their mother . In December 2018, Thomas confided on this subject: "We are not really part of the royal family to be honest. My mother got married. She is part of it.

But we are the commoner children. Those who remain on the margins “, he had specified in the show Good Morning Britain . A message that could not be clearer...
