Harry's 'secret' half-brother attends royal wedding

Just when you think you’ve got the royal family down pat, another face pops up that you might not recognise and have most likely forgotten.

Prince Harry and Prince William’s half-brother Tom Parker Bowles, 43, was among the throngs of high society guests celebrating the royal wedding.

Tom attended the wedding at St George’s Chapel in Windsor alongside his wife Sara Parker Bowles.

Tom, along with sister Laura Lopes, 40, are the children Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, had with her first husband, Andrew Parker Bowles.

So when Camilla married Harry and Will’s father Prince Charles, their extended family got a whole lot bigger.

While they supposedly have a great relationship, the royal step-siblings prefer to stay out of the spotlight and only make themselves present for special occasions, like royal weddings of course.

Laura tied the knot to accountant Harry Lopes in 2006 (a wedding which both Harry and William attended) and is now a mum-of-three.

Laura’s first daughter Eliza was even one of the young bridesmaids at Will and Kate’s wedding in 2011.

Her older brother Tom is a father-of-two and has an impressive career as an author and food critic.

In fact, you might have even seen him appear on food shows including Masterchef and Family Food Fight.

And while he admitted to TV Week last year that he doesn’t see his royal siblings too often, he did say, “Harry and William are lovely boys. It’s always nice to see them.”
