There is nothing secret about the royal family of Britain as they are all over the newspapers and television all the time. The past few months have been quite eventful for the monarchy because of Queen Elizabeth II’s demise and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Netflix show Harry & Meghan. While the royal family is gaining a lot of limelight, there are two members who are living their life away from public scrutiny. 

It is no surprise that before marrying each other in 2005, King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla were tied to different people for over two decades. The current monarch married the late Princess Diana in 1981 and they have two children, Prince William and Prince Harry. Meanwhile, the Queen Consort was with Andrew Parker Bowles. She became a mother to two children, Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles, in a marriage of 22 years. Are King’s step-children given the same privilege as his biological sons?

A glance at Prince Harry and Prince William’s step-siblings

Queen Consort Camilla’s children Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles do not enjoy any special privilege because of their mother’s title. They are normal people and live a common life in the United Kingdom. Both Lopes and Parker Bowles have quite successful professional careers and their worth is in the millions. As far as their relationship with Prince Harry and Prince William is concerned, all four people are cordial with each other.

Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles were guests at Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011 and Prince Harry’s wedding to Meghan Markle in 2018. Meanwhile, the royal princes attended their stepbrother’s wedding with a featured editor, Sara Buys, in 2005. They also marked their attendance at an event in 2006 where Lopes took the plunge with former Calvin Klein model Harry Lopes. 

Born on December 18, 1974, Tom Bowles is a professional author, broadcaster, and critic. He is one of the most followed by UK restaurant critics on Twitter. He once made headlines for winning the Guild of Food Writers Award. Laura Lopes, on the other hand, is an art curator. She is the co-founder of London’s Eleven Gallery.
