Camilla to be a grandmamma

Delight for the Duchess as her daughter-in-law says she’s pregnant

By Katie Nicholl (The Mail on Sunday, March 18, 2007) (pp.3, 29)

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were last night celebrating the news that they are to become grandparents.

Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles, confirmed that his wife, fashion journalist Sara Buys, is three moths pregnant with their first child.

“We have told our friends and family and they are all delighted,” he said. “Mummy is absolutely happy at the prospect of becoming a grandmother.”

Sara, 34, added: “It is the best news ever and we are thrilled.”

Tom, the 32-year-old columnist for The Mail on Sunday’s Live magazine, food editor of Tatler and author of the book The Year Of Eating Dangerously, said they have already started looking at hospitals for the baby’s birth in September.

“Sara is going for another scan next week and we’re hoping everything will be fine. I’m very excited and honestly don’t mind if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as the baby is healthy.”

Family friends say that Charles, who enjoys a close relationship with Tom – who is his godson – and his sister Laura, 28, Camilla’s children from her first marriage, is also looking forward to being a grandfather.

“Camilla has been secretly hoping for a while that one of her children would be giving her a grandchild,” a friend said last night.

“She adores Sara and is delighted that she is the first to give her a grandchild.”

Sara, who writes a fashion column in The Mail on Sunday’s You magazine, said: I’ve been very lucky so far. I haven’t had any of the pregnancy horrors some of my friends have had.”

“I’m wearing lots of baggy clothes and I’m looking forward to maternity shopping”.

“I gave up smoking a while ago, and now I have had to give up alcohol,” she said.

“My intention is to go back to work once I’ve had my maternity leave. Who knows whether we will have more children later on. I think Tom and I would like to have two.”

Tom and Sara met through mutual friends in 2001 while they were at Oxford University and Tom proposed during a trip to Venice in December 2004.

They married in September 2005.

Sara spent her early childhood in South Africa before moving to Britain. Her mother, Caroline, who is divorced from her farther, William, is a comprehensive school teacher in North London. Sara attended South Hamstead High School, a private day school for girls, before she went to Oxford.

After Tom and Sara started dating, Tom told friends he was “madly in love.”
