She has grown well since her legendary appearance on the balcony of the Buckingham Palace on April 29, 2011, when Prince William and Catherine Middleton have just discussed their wishes to Westminster Abbey in London. Now 17 years old – she had 3 at the time – Eliza Lopes swapped white tights and bridesmaid dress for the uniform of her generation. In crop top cream and jeans, she proudly walks alongside her grandmother, Queen Camilla.
In the streets of Ballater, the Scottish locality in which the Château de Balmoral is located, the sovereign’s wife would go almost unnoticed, shopping with her daughter, Laura Lopes, resulting from her marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles, and her elder. Dressed in a flowery dress, an apple green cardigan, sneakers on the feet, Queen Camilla does not sulk her pleasure from enjoying this outing between girls.
Passed with a pair of sunglasses, she plays her role as grandmother-the title she prefers-to perfection, without worrying about the security officer who trotted a few meters in front of her, or even photographers. For onlookers, it is not surprising that members of the royal family participate in the summer heckling of the city, they spent all their holidays in the region for almost 200 years.
“Girls are starting to love clothes and makeup, and you know, it’s a bit scary to see them disembark with pierced ears, makeup and hair of all colors,” said Camilla to Voguea few years ago. Grandmother of Eliza, Gus and Louis Lopes as well as Lola and Freddy Parker Bowles, Camilla cherishes the precious moments that she can spend with them, as at the beginning of summer, when she went to taste ice cream, right in the center of the capital. In Balmoral, there is no doubt that between walks in the open air, afternoon teasand literary recommendations, the Queen covers her grandchildren with attention. As for them, they can take advantage of the home in which members of the royal family will be found.
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson have been there for a few days, while the prince and princess of Wales have to arrive with the last days before the start of the school year of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at Lambrook school. Without forgetting Princess Anne, Mike and Zara Tindall and their children or the Edinburgh. Princess Beatrice should also join the festivities, with her husband, her two daughters, and her stepson, the little “Wolfie”, 9 years old. A real royal holiday colony.
