Camilla suggested one of her granddaughters love dancing so much she could be one of the BBC’s popular dancing competitions, Strictly Come Dancing. Attending the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the British Dance Council, the Duchess said: “I wish I was as good as all of you, I have a granddaughter who is passionate about [dancing], maybe you will see her one day dancing at Strictly.” 

Camilla didn’t openly say which granddaughter she was referring to, leaving royal fans hoping she was speaking about Princess Charlotte – the daughter of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William – high and dry.

The little Cambridge reached an important milestone this morning, when she started her Reception Year at Thomas’s Battersea school.

Accompanied to the South London school by her mother and father, Charlotte looked confident and ready to start her academic adventure alongside with her brother George, who today started his second year. 

Princess Charlotte is Camilla’s youngest granddaughter – but the Duchess of Cornwall has other lovely grandchildren to adore coming from her first marriage with Andrew Parker Bowles.

Camilla’s other granddaughters are Eliza Lopes and Lola Parker Bowles are both 11 year old, and are not new to royal fans.

Lola, daughter of Tom and Sara Parker Bowles, was spotted just two years ago among the thousands of well-wishers gathered to see the royals during Trooping the Colours. 

And Eliza, daughter of Laura and Harry Lopes, was chosen as one of the bridesmaids at the Royal Wedding of Kate and Prince William.

Camilla’s cheeky revelation came as she was celebrating the 90th anniversary of the British Dance Council with a Tea Dance.

The Duchess attended the event taking place in London as the president of the Royal Osteoporosis Society to highlight what an important activity dancing can be to keep bones healthy. 

And she didn’t fail to demonstrate it herself, as Camilla was spotted taking the dance floor with professional ballroom dancer Len Goodman.

During an impromptu speech, Camilla said: “I have had the pleasure to dance with Craig and now with Len, so I feel very honoured, thank you very much indeed.

“I just wanted to say how important dancing is for our bones. 

“I think if we could get a lot more people onto the dancing floor we would be able to do a lot of good for osteoporosis, because that’s all exercise that improves your bones.”

Camilla became the president of the Royal Osteoporosis Society in 2001, and has never hidden how important it has become for her to raise awareness about this disease after her mother Rosalind Shand and grandmother Sonia Rosemary Keppel died of it. 

Speaking about her tragic personal experience, Camilla said: “Sadly, as I grew older, I learned a great deal more about osteoporosis at first hand, as I watched both my mother and grandmother suffer the pain and ignominy of this agonising disease.

“So what message would I send to my younger self, now that I have learned so much more about it?

“Eat a healthy diet with plenty of calcium and Vitamin D, and take plenty of exercise, both are crucial for strong and healthy bones.”
