Laura Rose Parker Bowles was born in 1978, to Camilla and Andrew, a retired British army officer.

She reportedly spent her childhood in Bolehyde Manor, an eight-bedroom country house in Wiltshire with a swimming pool, tennis courts and 70 acres (28.3 hectares) of land.

She attended St Mary’s Shaftesbury, a Catholic girls’ boarding school. The school shut down in 2020 but parents reportedly paid £12,300 (US$15,840) boarding fees per year.

She married a Calvin Klein model
