Queen Camilla makes candid admission about her daughter and grandchildren

Queen Camilla made some rare personal comments about her family this week - including one admission all parents can relate to. The royal, 77, paid a special visit to Great Western Hospital in Swindon, Wiltshire on Tuesday. It was a deeply personal outing for Camilla, who gave birth to her daughter Laura Lopes in the same facility on New Year's day in 1978. And she revealed that her family are still regular visitors to the hospital's A&E unit.
As she chatted with hospital staff, Queen Camilla confessed: "I know quite a lot about you. You've treated a lot of my family. My daughter will often call me saying 'Guess where I am?' And I get a picture of a thumb sticking up at an odd angle, or a leg. I know what a nice place it is and what great care you take of people.".
Art curator Laura is a mum to three children, Eliza, 17, and 15-year-old twins, Gus and Louis. Meanwhile Camilla's son, food critic Tom Parker Bowles, has two children – Lola and Freddy – with his former wife, Sara Buys. The Queen's three grandsons were chosen as her Pages of Honour at the coronation in May 2023.
Camilla revealed her joy at being a grandmother in an interview with Vogue in honour of her 75th birthday. Speaking about her five grandchildren, then aged from 12 to 14, she shared: "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.
