The team of princes is known worldwide. Few know of her stepsister’s existence. She leads a very private life away from the limelight.
Birkhall – No matter where Prince William (39) and his brother Prince Harry (37) appear in public, their numerous fans are there. Every step of the popular team of princes is closely followed and diligently commented on by the media. They are always in the spotlight at events and charity events. The situation is very different with her royal step-siblings.
Prince William & Prince Harry: Hardly anyone knows her stepsister Laura
Because when Williams and Harry’s father Prince Charles (73) married Camilla Parker-Bowles* (74), today’s Duchess of Cornwall, in 2005, she also brought two children from her first marriage: Tom Parker Bowles (47) and Laura Lopes (44) . Both lead a rather secluded life. But while Tom occasionally presents himself as a food blogger in the media, Laura keeps a low profile. She rarely shows up in public appearances.
The last time she was the center of attention was in 2006 at her own wedding. At that time she said yes to her childhood sweetheart Harry Lopes in a fairytale wedding. Three children have since crowned their happiness: Eliza, Gus and Louis.
Royal fans have already caught a glimpse of the cute children on important official occasions. Among other things, at the annual “Trooping the Colour” parade* in honor of Queen Elizabeth II*’s birthday. Then everyone who has rank and name in the British royal family gathers around the monarch on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, where she is frenetically celebrated by countless fans.

But from time to time, royal supporters also get private insights into Duchess Camilla’s residence in her Scottish country estate* Birkhall, which she lives with her husband Prince Charles*.
And in order to always have her family close by, she has placed many pictures of her loved ones there. A Twitter post from the official account of the Prince of Wales and his wife confirms how close the mother and daughter really are*.
