Meet Laura Lopes, Queen Camilla’s daughter: the low-profile art curator is married to a Calvin Klein model who’s related to one of the US’ richest families … but why did she row with Prince William?

Here is everything we know about Queen Camilla’s media-shy daughter.

Laura Lopes had a privileged childhood

Laura Rose Parker Bowles was born in 1978, to Camilla and Andrew, a retired British army officer.

She reportedly spent her childhood in Bolehyde Manor, an eight-bedroom country house in Wiltshire with a swimming pool, tennis courts and 70 acres (28.3 hectares) of land.

She attended St Mary’s Shaftesbury, a Catholic girls’ boarding school. The school shut down in 2020 but parents reportedly paid £12,300 (US$15,840) boarding fees per year.

She married a Calvin Klein model

In 2006, Laura and Calvin Klein model-turned-chartered accountant Harry Lopes exchanged vows in Wiltshire.

Harry is the grandson of Massey Henry Lopes, second Baron Roborough, and is set to inherit Gnaton Hall in Devon and Skelpick Estate in the Scottish Highlands.

On top of being the grandson of a baron, Harry is also related to the Astor family, one of America’s wealthiest families.

The couple have three children together: 15-year-old daughter Eliza, and twin sons, Gus and Louis, aged 14.

She had a troubled relationship with her royal stepbrothers, Princes William and Harry

According to William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls, a 2010 book written by author and journalist Katie Nicholl, Prince William and Lopes would regularly get into rows about their parents when King Charles and Queen Camilla wed in 2005.

“William would blame Camilla for all the hurt she had caused his mother, which would send Laura into a rage. Laura was not having any of it. She would take a hard line and fire back at William, ‘Your father has ruined my life,’” Nicholl wrote in her book.

However, it seems the step-siblings may have since made amends, as William and Kate had Lopes’ daughter Eliza as their flower girl at their wedding in 2011.

She’s an art curator

Lopes enrolled at Oxford Brookes University where she studied history of art as well as marketing.

She currently works as an art curator.
