Queen Camilla joked that her grandson named Louis is relatively “difficult” when talking to people in British territories.
During her visit to the Isle of Man on March 20, Ms. Camilla appeared on the street, chatting with people standing along the roadside to welcome her. She stopped in front of two women holding two babies wearing identical clothes.

A younger person named Rachael Hughes, 38 years old, introduced two 15-week-old babies. She was holding a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 named Oliver and the child next to her was named Louis.
“Louis?” Mrs. Camilla replied. “I also have a nephew named Louis… quite difficult to handle!”, she said and the three of them laughed.
It is unclear which Louis Camilla was referring to. She has a grandson, Louis, 15 years old, the son of Laura Lopes, her daughter with her ex-husband. The Queen also has a 5-year-old grandson Louis, the youngest child of Prince William.
Prince Louis attracted attention in 2022 when he made a clown face and covered his ears on the balcony, while standing next to Queen Elizabeth II during the 70th anniversary of her reign.
Hughes said Camilla asked the two babies their names, saying it would be less difficult for her when the children turned two years old. “I’m very happy to be asked by her. She is doing very well and her charisma is wonderful,” she expressed.

Queen Camilla visited the Isle of Man on behalf of King Charles, expressing “his regret that he could not come here himself to celebrate this very special occasion”. The Isle of Man is one of three British crown territories, located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. King Charles is both the head of state and the lord of the Isle of Man.
