Andrew Parker Bowles, 83, sat beside his children while his grandchildren take part in the ceremony. He and Queen Camilla remain friends.
It is just under 90 years since a King was forced to abdicate his throne because he wanted to marry a divorced woman.
The Crown fans will recall how the Queen did not want to invite Jackie Kennedy’s sister Lee Bouvier to a State Visit dinner for the American president and his first lady in 1961 because she was divorced. Andrew, a retired British army officer who is nicknamed the Brigadier for the rank he rose to, was born into royal circles – his aristocratic parents were close friends with the Queen Mother – and he was a page at Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.
Andrew Parker Bowles was just 13 when he was a page at Queen Elizabeth’s coronation. He was one of the very few to also attended King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation – and one of the most eyebrow-raising.When his future wife was dating Prince Charles, Andrew Parker Bowles was dating the heir to the throne’s sister, Princess Anne.
The then Lieutenant Colonel Parker Bowles was one of the first at the horrific scene, which killed four men under his command, another seven soldiers from a military band, and seven horses. It was one of the terrorist group’s most notorious attacks, carried out just a few hundred yards from Buckingham Palace.
