The British royal was born on July 17th 1947 in London. Her father Major Bruce Shand was an officer of the British army and later became a businessman. Her mother was Rosalind Shand (née Cubitt). She grew up alongside 2 siblings, a younger sister Annabel and a younger brother Mark Shand. The family had homes in Plumpton, East Sussex and also in South Kensington, London.
She had her early education at Dumbrells School in Ditchling village. From the age of 10, she studied at Queen’s Gate School in Queen’s Gate, South Kensington where she obtained her O-level.

Relationship History
Camilla Parker Bowles was thrown into the limelight due to her relationship with Charles, the Prince of Wales. Their love story dates back to 1971 when they were both still unmarried but made to part ways in 1973 when Charles was sent abroad on military duty. Camilla got married shortly after the Prince’s departure and thus, it was nearly impossible for the relationship to go any further. On his part, Prince Charles eventually got married to Lady in 1981.
It is alleged on several quarters that Camilla and Prince Charles rekindled their romance around 1980 and it continued while they were married to their respective spouses at that time. According to Prince Charles, he got back with Camilla in 1986 when his marriage to Lady Diana had already broken down.
The relationship eventually became public knowledge sometime in the early 1990s and it caused a major scandal for the British Royal family. They divorced their respective spouses in the mid-90s and despite the negative publicity, their relationship continued to wax strong. The couple announced their engagement in February 2005 and a few months later, they tied the knot. Their wedding was held at Windsor Castle on April 8, 2005.
Children
Camilla Parker Bowles had 2 children from her first marital union to Andrew Parker Bowles. She welcomed her first child Tom Parker Bowles on December 18, 1974.
