Queen Camilla was ‘really nervous’ ahead of the Coronation which was watched by millions, claims her former daughter-in-law – as she reveals her page of honour son Freddy, 13, did a cheeky wave he ‘wasn’t supposed to do’
The mother of the Queen’s grandchildren has revealed Camilla was wracked with nerves ahead of the Coronation in May.
Sara Parker-Bowles, who shares 16-year-old Lola and 13-year-old Freddy with the Queen’s son Tom, described her former mother-in-law as ‘the human face of the royal family‘ as she discussed Camilla’s new role as Queen.
Following the Coronation on 6 May which was watched by millions of people around the world, fashion editor Sara, who split from Tom in 2018, has revealed how surreal it felt to watch young Freddy take the role of page of honour in Westminster Abbey.
She said she spent the day ‘obsessively’ watching her son as the eyes of the world were upon him.
And the mother-of-two couldn’t help but laugh when he performed a cheeky wave to the crowd that he wasn’t supposed to.

Speaking to The Times, Sara revealed Queen Camilla’s nerves ahead of the Coronation – which some royal fans also spotted on the day.
At the time, a body language expert told FEMAIL that the Queen appeared nervous initially on the day, but after a while she managed to feel calm and at ease.
Carole Railton claimed: ‘Camilla obviously had trouble with the crown balancing and being in place and tried to adjust it herself.
‘She appears comfortable and in control – relaxed and sure of herself. Smiling and with her hand and arms relaxed, she became graceful and in control following some initial nervousness.’

Sara also revealed that her 13-year-old son Freddy (pictured with his grandmother) did a cheeky wave he ‘wasn’t supposed to do’
She told the newspaper: ‘Camilla was really, really nervous. She wanted the people that she loved around her. [The King] wasn’t nervous at all. But Camilla didn’t ask for any of this.
‘She’s the human face of the royal family, because she’s not part of it. You need those outsiders really.’
The fashion editor who has previously worked for Vogue recalled watching her son like a hawk as he took on a key role as page of honour alongside Prince George during the ceremony.
Watching 13-year-old Freddy appear on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to observe the flypast, Sara said his facial expression resembled total awe.
She then joked that her highlight of the day was watching him do a little wave that he ‘wasn’t supposed to do’.
Ahead of the Coronation, Tom appeared on the News Agents podcast where he said his teenage son didn’t really have a ‘sense of the occasion’ leading up to the Coronation.
Chatting to hosts Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel, food critic Tom said his son’s biggest worries these days ‘are about the Spurs manager’.
He told them: ‘I don’t think he has a sense of the occasion.
‘He’s a 13-year-old boy who loves football, a Spurs supporter… So, his worries are about the Spurs manager and losing when we’re up and that sort of stuff.
‘There’s no reason for our children to be in the Press at all and so we’ve purposely kept them well away from anything to do with that…
‘I think there are a lot of rehearsals are going to happen before and he’s doing it with his cousins, his two best mates, and my first cousin’s son so they will know each other.’
