On the eve of her Platinum Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth II revealed that the Camilla becoming Queen Consort' is her "sincere wish" when Prince Charles becomes king.
Now that the time has come after the passing of the Queen on September 8, the royal family is having many changes including Camilla stepping up for the role her mother in law wishes for her.
The King and his Queen Consorts have been married for 17 years, and despite the pair's relationship getting off to a controversial start, their marriage has continued to go from strength to strength.
Between them, the royal couple share four children, and while Camilla's step-sons Prince William and Prince Harry are familiar faces, her own two children tend to keep a low-profile.
Camilla shares a daughter, Laura, and son, Tom, with her ex-husband Andrew, 82, who she split from back in 1995.
Tom Parker Bowles
Tom Parker Bowles is a successful food writer and critic.
The 47 year old has written seven cookbooks during his career so far, and has written reviews for the likes of GQ, Esquire, and The Mail on Sunday.
He studied at Eton and Worcestor College, and previously told how immediately after leaving school he fell in love with food writing.
Tom has also said that his mother Camilla's recipes and cooking skills were a large source of inspiration for him, and played a role in him choosing a career as a food writer.
Tom married fashion editor Sara Buys back in 2005, after dating for over five years.
Sara is an associate editor of Harpers & Queen magazine and senior editor of British Town & Country magazine. The couple welcomed a daughter, Lola, in 2007, and a son, Frederick, in 2008.
Tom and Sara announced their split in 2018, after enjoying 13-year long marriage.
The food critic began dating former journalist Alice Procope in 2019, but in March 2021 she sadly passed away from cancer, seven months after first being diagnosed.
Laura Lopes
Laura Lopes is a successful art curator, who has a degree in the History of Art and Marketing.
Laura, 43, boasts an impressive career, having first started out as an intern at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice in 2001.
She then became Tatler's motoring correspondent later that same year, before going on to manage The Space Gallery in London.
In October 2005, Laura became a co-founding partner and director of Eleven gallery in London.
She married Harry Lopes, a chartered accountant and former model, in 2006, in a lavish ceremony in Wiltshire.
The reception was held at Ray Mill, Camilla's nearby estate, and Laura's bridal gown was also designed by Anna Valentine, the same designer her mother used for own dress when she married Prince Charles.
Laura and Harry welcomed their first child, Eliza, in 2008, and a year later she gave birth to twin boys named Gus and Louis.
