Camilla's rarely seen grandkids who lead different lives to George, Charlotte and Louis

The Queen Consort 's grandchildren are rarely photographed, and they all live very different lives compared to the Cambridge children - despite also being in the public eye.

Behind closed doors, Camilla is just like any grandparent, in spite of holding a lot of royal duties and responsibilities.

She is married to King Charles III, but has her own biological grandkids through her children from her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles.

With her former husband, she had Tom Parker Bowles, 47, who is is an award-winning food writer and critic; and Laura Lopes, 44, who is an English art curator, report MyLondon.

Tom Parker Bowles was married to fashion editor Sara Buys from 2005 to 2018 and they have two children together - Lola, 14, and Freddie, 12.

Laura Lopes - who managed The Space Gallery and then co-founded and directed the Eleven Gallery in 2005 - is married to Harry Lopes and the couple share three children - Eliza, 14, Gus, 12, and Louis, 12.

However, since her mother's marriage to Charles, Lola has kept herself out of the public eye. Meanwhile, Tom split from his wife Sara four years ago following 'problems' in the relationship.

Through her step-sons Prince William and Harry, Camilla also has five grandchildren; Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor and Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis - who are second, third, and fourth in the line of succession to the throne, respectively.

While the Cambridge children make regular public appearances, the children of Tom Parker Bowles and Laura Lopes are in the spotlight less.

When Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011, Eliza was one of the bridesmaids when she was just three-years old.

And the Queen Consort's children and grandchildren all attended the state funeral of the late Queen on 19 September. Siblings Tom and Laura were pictured arriving at Westminster Abbey and walking with their children, all dressed in black, on the sombre occasion.

According to Tatler, Camilla said about her grandchildren: "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, then give them back again."
