Queen Camilla has two children. She shares son Tom Parker Bowles and daughter Laura Lopes with her ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles. Today, Camilla is a proud grandmother to give children. Tom has two children, teenagers Lola and Freddy, while Laura Lopes has a teenage daughter, Eliza, and teenage twins, Louis and Gus.
