Camilla, Duchess of Cornwalldoesn’t have family far from her mind during herhistoric visit to Cuba.
While greeting fans during a busy walkabout in Havana on Monday — amid her 12-day royal tour of the Caribbean withPrince Charles— American tourist Mimi Ricketts asked the royal if she was excited about welcomingMeghan MarkleandPrince Harry‘s first child in the coming weeks.
“Yes, very much so,” Camilla replied, according toHello!magazine.
Camilla – who has five grandchildren from her son and daughter in addition toPrince Charles‘ three grandchildren: Prince George,Princess CharlotteandPrince Louis– has previously spoken about the “wonderful” role of being a grandparent.
“Yes, I’d recommend it to everybody,” she said in the documentaryThe Real Camilla: HRH The Duchess of Cornwall. “It’s very nice because you haven’t got the full responsibility. You can give them a wonderful time, spoil them, give them all the things their parents won’t allow them to have and then give them back again.”
