Queen Camilla Reunites with Ex-Husband Andrew Parker Bowles at Their Son Tom’s Book Launch
The Queen and her ex seemed to be in good spirits at the event celebrating their son’s latest offering

Queen Camilla and her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles came together to celebrate their son Tom Parker Bowles’ latest professional endeavor.

On Sept. 5, the Queen, 77, stepped out at The Audley Public House in London for the launch honoring Tom’s new cookbook, Cooking and the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles III. While there, she reunited with her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, to whom she was married from 1973 to 1995. The former couple are parents to food writer Tom, 49, and daughter Laura Lopes, 46, and the former couple reportedly share a friendly relationship today.

“They are joined at the hip. He arranges so much for her. They have lunch together the whole time. He’s right in there. He was always, and still is, Camilla’s co-conspirator,” a friend of Andrew’s told The Sunday Times in April 2023 when it was confirmed that Andrew would attend the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla the next month.

Andrew and Camilla’s grandsons Louis, Gus and Freddy also played a key role at the crowning ceremony in 2023 by acting as her Pages of Honor, and the Queen’s ex was photographed chatting with King Charles and Princess Anne at Royal Ascot in June.

In a twist, Andrew and Princess Anne dated when they were young (which inspired a storyline in Netflix’s The Crown) and the two are thought to remain friends today.

Camilla was involved romantically with the future King Charles during her marriage to Andrew. The former Prince of Wales was married to Princess Diana at the same time, and she told Panorama in 1995 of herself, Charles and Camilla that “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.” Before their respective marriages, Charles and Camilla dated before Camilla married Andrew, an officer in the British Army, and Andrew and Camilla asked Charles to be a godfather to their first child, Tom, when he was born in 1974.
