Meet Laura Lopes: Princes William and Harry's Step-Sister You've Never Heard Of

Thanks to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding last week we now know about the prince’s cousins, Lady Kitty Spencer and her ahem, rather attractive younger brother, Louis Spencer.

And now there’s another lesser-known member of the royal family, making headlines. Meet Laura Lopes, Camilla Parker Bowles’ daughter with ex husband Andrew Parker Bowles.

Laura was just 17 when her parents divorced. Her mother then went on to marry Prince Charles in 2005, making him her step-father, and Princes William and Harry her step-brothers.

While her brother, Tom Parker Bowles, 43 is rather well known for his TV appearances as well as being contributing editor at GQ as well as working for Esquire and The Mail, Lopes has managed to fly under the royal radar, despite maintaining a close relationship with the princes.

Wills, Harry and Kate Middleton (before she was a royal herself) all attended her wedding to former model Harry Lopes in 2006.

Lopes is a mother of three (her eldest daughter Eliza was one of Kate Middleton’s bridesmaids) and is a co-founder and director of an art gallery in London, reports Metro.

She is also mum to twin boys, Gus and Louis, who she welcomed in 2009.
