Many of us who are familiar with the British royal family (and especially those among us who binge-watched every available episode of The Crown in a single weekend…) would be able to draw a pretty accurate, quick family tree.
There’s Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, of course, along with their children Princes Charles, Edward and Andrew and Princess Anne.
Prince Harry and Prince William are the result of Prince Charles’ marriage to Diana. And then are their respective partners, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, who are often dominating the headlines with their fashion choices, and William’s cute-as-a-button children.
LISTEN: The Crown’s season two just solved a major issue about scones. Post continues after audio…
But there’s a branch that is often forgotten from this royal family tree: the children of Prince Charles’ second wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Yep, Prince Harry and Prince William officially have two step-siblings: a 43-year-old brother, Tom Parker Bowles, and a sister, Laura Lopes, 40.

I think you’re confusing ‘secret’ with ‘private’. They aren’t secret siblings, the whole world knows they exist, they just prefer to keep a lower profile.
