Camilla Parker Bowles’ Great-Grandmother Alice Keppel Was Also a Mistress — to King Charles’ Great-Grandfather King Edward VII

Camilla Parker Bowles is now the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom.  But as royal fans know, her relationship with King Charles III began as a scandalous affair. What’s not so well known is that Camilla wasn’t the first royal mistress in her family. Her great-great grandmother Alice Keppel was the mistress of Charles’ great-great grandfather, King Edward VII.

Camilla Parker Bowles’ great-great-grandmother, Alice Keppel, was known as ‘Freddie’

Sir William Edmonstone and Mary Elizabeth Parsons — members of the English nobility and direct descendants of the royal House of Stuart — welcomed their daughter Alice Frederica Edmonstone on April 29, 1868. Growing up a tomboy, her parents nicknamed her “Freddie” and the name stuck.
