King Charles and Queen Camilla decided to break with tradition for the royal coronation which took place on 6 May as the Queen's grandchildren – who have been largely kept out of the spotlight – were included in the Westminster Abbey service.
The decision sends a strong message of unity and highlights the couple's blended family; both have been divorced and both have step-children.
Camilla is a very proud grandmother of five. Her son, Tom Parker Bowles, has Lola, 15, and Freddy, 13, and her daughter, Laura Lopes, has Eliza, 15, and 13-year-old twins, Louis and Gus.
Camilla shares her children Tom and Laura with her ex-husband, Andrew Parker-Bowles. The former couple were married from 1973 until 1995 and have remained on good terms since their divorce.
Here is everything you need to know about the Queen Consort's children and grandchildren.
Tom Parker Bowles
Camilla's oldest child Tom was born 18th December 1974 in London. Growing up, Tom could count the then-Prince Charles as his godfather.
He's now a food writer who has written seven cookbooks, with restaurant reviews in the likes of GQ, Esquire and The Mail on Sunday. Although he's tried food across the world and judged in numerous TV food shows, his love of food came from close to home.
"My father was often away with the army, or in London, but mum did a lot of the cooking. She never liked cakes, not baking. Meat. Fish. That's what she did", Tom revealed in 2012 to the Evening Standard. Famous for her roast chicken, Camilla's cooking skills and recipes inspired Tom to start writing about food.
Tom married fashion editor Sara Buys in 2005 at St Nicholas' Church in Oxfordshire; his cousin Ben Elliot was his best man. The wedding, which took place five months after Camilla's marriage to Charles, was attended by his mother and stepfather, as well as stepbrothers William and Harry. While now divorced, Tom and Sara share children Lola in 2007 and son Frederick in 2010.
Laura Lopes
Laura was born 1st January 1978, the second child to Camilla and ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles. After studying History of Art and Marketing at Oxford Brookes University, she spent three months as an intern at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice
Now, Laura is an art curator. She married chartered accountent Harry Marcus George Lopes in 2006, with whom she has three children. Eliza was born in 2008, while Gus and Louis - fraternal twins - were born in 2009.
Lola Parker Bowles
It's thought that Camilla made a sweet reference to eldest grandchild Lola during a 2022 interview with Vogue when she revealed: "I do Wordle every day with my granddaughter.
"She'll text me to say, 'I've done it in three', and I say, 'Sorry, I've done it in two today.' It's very satisfactory when it tells you how brilliant you are!"
Frederick Parker Bowles
Tom's youngest child, Freddy, was the page of honour at the Coronation of Charles and Camilla. He is her youngest grandson, born just two months after Gus and Louis.
Eliza Lopes
Royal watchers will be aware that Eliza, meanwhile, was given the honour of being a bridesmaid at Prince William and Princess Kate's wedding in 2011. She was seen being picked up by her step-grandfather, then-Prince Charles, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to see the huge crowds.
Gus and Louis Lopes
Gus and Louis appeared on the balcony at Buckingham Palace alongside their grandmother, the now Queen.
Camilla spoke to The Daily Mail about the unexpected surprise of twins: "Obviously I am being called on for more and more babysitting duties but it's wonderful. Laura was rather thrown when she was told she was having twins but we have never had them in the family before and I for one can't wait."

The Queen Consort's relationship with her grandchildren.
She has a very strong bond with the teens – who call her 'Gaga'. So too does her husband, who used to read them stories from the Harry Potter series and would even do impressions for their entertainment.
Of course, a great deal has changed since then with Camilla revealing in the same Vogue interview: "The girls are beginning to get into clothes and make-up and, you know, it's rather frightening when you see them, coming out with pierced ears and a lot of new make-up and funny-coloured hair and stuff."
The Queen Consort also spoke about her regular communications with her grandchildren. "It’s very nice getting a text," she said. "We learn from very young people and they learn from us, too. That's the way it's always been."
And in an interview with Mail+ to celebrate her 75th birthday, the then-Duchess of Cornwall shared that her grandkids had introduced her to the group chatting app Houseparty, which allowed up to eight people to have a conversation.
Camilla also revealed that her younger relatives have showed her how to use TikTok, which soared in popularity at the start of the pandemic.
