(July 4, 1973 - March 1, 1995) (divorced) (2 children)
In the late 1960s, Camilla met Andrew Parker Bowles‍—‌then a Guards officer and lieutenant in the Blues and Royals— through his younger brother, Simon Parker Bowles, who worked for her father's wine firm in Mayfair. After a supposed on and off relationship for years, they became more serious in 1972. However, Andrew was also dating Princess Anne as well. Andrew and Camilla announced their engagement in The Times in 1973, marrying on 4 July that year in a Roman Catholic ceremony at the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks in London. Camilla was 25 years old and Parker Bowles 33. Her wedding dress was designed by British fashion house Bellville Sassoon, and the bridesmaids included Parker Bowles' goddaughter Lady Emma Herbert. It was considered the "society wedding of the year" with eight hundred guests in attendance. Royal guests present at the ceremony and reception included Princess Anne, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon.
The couple made their home in Wiltshire, purchasing Bolehyde Manor in Allington and later Middlewick House in Corsham. They had two children: Tom (born 1974), who is a godson of Prince Charles, and Laura (born 1978). Both children were raised in their father's Roman Catholic faith, particularly during the lifetime of their paternal grandmother Ann Parker Bowles; however Camilla remained an Anglican and did not convert to Roman Catholicism. Laura attended a Catholic girls' school but married in an Anglican church and Tom did not attend Ampleforth college as his father, but Eton and was married outside the Catholic Church. Tom, like his father, is in remainder to the Earldom of Macclesfield.
In December 1994, after 21 years of marriage, Camilla and her husband both filed for a divorce on the grounds they had been living separately for years. In July of that year, her mother Rosalind had died from osteoporosis, and her father later described this as a "difficult time for her". Their petition was heard and granted in January 1995 at the High Court Family Division in London. The divorce was finalised in March 1995.
