“He calls her ‘Gan-Gan,’” Catherine said. Before revealing that the Queen totally dotes on her youngest family members. “
She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay, and that just shows her love for the family.”
And Camilla is just as doting – every June she hosts a massive party for both her grandchildren and the grandchildren of friends, according to the new biography The Duchess: Camilla Parker Bowles and the Love Affair That Rocked the Crown.
‘In 2016 there were about 90 children tucking into sandwiches, cakes, and jellies and roaring around the garden at Clarence House, having tugs of war and watching spellbound as magicians did tricks and entertainers made them laugh,’ royal author Penny Junor wrote.
