Who knew that Prince William and Prince Harry have step-siblings? Well, the royal brothers have two, step-sister Laura Lopes and step-brother Tom Parker-Bowles.
Lopes and Tom are the children of Camilla Parker-Bowles, who married Prince Charles in 2005. By law, the royal brothers gained two new siblings. Apparently, Laura Lopes will be getting a title pretty soon.
Rumors are circulating that the commoner daughter of Camilla Parker-Bowles, Duchess of Cornwall, will be getting a title once Prince Charles becomes sovereign.
As the King, Charles can indeed use his regent power to honor commoners' title, but the Royal Firm has since buried this practice. The only honorable titles the Queen gives out nowadays are Knighthoods.
According to a report by Cosmopolitan, Laura Lopes, who is married to Calvin Klein ex-model Harry Lopes, there is a big chance they will end us titled Britons also because Harry Lopes is a descendant of a Baron.
Apparently, Laura Lopes and his brother Tom have a normal sibling relationship with Prince Harry and Prince William, but in the earlier years of Prince Charles’s marriage to Camilla Parker-Bowles, William and Laura would get into huge fights.
“William and Laura used to have terrible fights over who was to blame for their broken homes. William would blame Camilla for all the hurt she had caused his mother. Laura was not having any of it. She would take a hard line and fire back at William, ‘Your father has ruined my life.’” A source told Cosmopolitan.
If Prince Charles awards Laura a title, this could be a big change in the royal system. It is mostly untrue, though, and this is just hearsay.
There have been reports that Prince Charles’s first agenda after becoming King of England is to ‘slim down’ the number of working royals, meaning he will remove royals who are not effectively direct-in-line to the throne.
This is also to decrease the expenses spent on tours and engagements of which working royals have several each year. Prince Charles wants England's people to concentrate only on important family members, such as him and son William and his family.
Tom Parker-Bowles also commented on their status as the step-children of the future King of England. He explained that they are not part of the royal family, only their mother, and on Good Morning Britain, Tom expressed that they are merely ‘Just on the side.’
