As part of a conversation about modern family life, Camilla confessed that she's not a fan of the fact that sitting down for dinner together as a family feels like a thing of the past.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Camilla said, "Families don’t sit down any longer, do they, and have dinner."
She added, "Because I am ancient, in the old days we all sat down (to eat). Now everyone is on their devices. It just makes me quite cross!"

Camilla is a grandmother-of-five, to her children Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles' children. Laura is mom to teenage girls Lola and Eliza, as well as sons Louis and Gus. Meanwhile, Tom is dad to son Freddy.
Of course, Camilla is also step-grandma to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, having been married to Prince Charles since 2005.
Camilla has also revealed that she is partial to a game of Wordle and bonds with her granddaughter over their scores.
"I do Wordle every day with my granddaughter," she told British Vogue.
"She’ll text me to say, ‘I’ve done it in three’, and I say, ‘Sorry, I’ve done it in two today.’ It’s very satisfactory when it tells you how brilliant you are."
