Queen Camilla ‘frightened’ of her grandchildren growing up

“Yes, I’d recommend it to everybody… It’s very nice because you haven’t got the full responsibility. You can give them a wonderful time, spoil them, give them all the things their parents won’t allow them to have, and then give them back again,” Camilla said, adding that they found it funny to see her on the television.

“They rather tend to wave, I don’t know if they expect me to wave back again,” the now-queen joked.

Camilla has five grandchildren of her own, but has, in a way, become a “step-grandmother” to the king’s many grandchildren, too: Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, and, even though they barely meet, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Camilla has been a part of the Royal Family for a very long time, and while she isn’t the biological grandmother of George, Charlotte, or Louis, she has assumed the role. However, with that said, she knows what boundaries she won’t cross. Speaking to People Magazine, Robert Hardman, the author of The Making of a King: King Charles III, said that Camilla knows what boundaries Charles expects regarding his grandchildren.

“She wouldn’t want to be getting into the King’s space with his grandchildren. She’s not going to push herself. She’s still very keen to maintain. She’s still got her own family,” Hardman said. “That’s very important to her, and she appreciates how important it is for him.”
