Queen Camilla was born Camilla Rosemary Shand on 17 July 1947 as the daughter of Major Bruce Shand and his wife, The Honourable Rosalind Cubitt, at King’s College Hospital in London. Her mother was the daughter of Roland Cubitt, 3rd Baron Ashcombe and Sonia Rosemary Keppel. Her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles was on 4 July 1973. They had two children, a son named Tom (born 1974) and a daughter named Laura (born 1978). They were divorced in 1995.
On 9 April 2005, she married the then-Prince of Wales. As a result, Camilla became known as The Duchess of Cornwall. She was officially The Princess of Wales but chose not to use the title as it remains strongly associated with Diana, Charles’s first wife. On 8 September 2022, upon the death of her mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, Camilla became the new Queen (consort). As such, she is addressed as Her Majesty The Queen.
