A child of their own, no. They are to be grandparents soon. Can anybody see them babysitting a newborn or an infant overnight?!

Seeing that Camilla has just had a hysterectomy this thread really is in the realm of fairy stories!

It's cruel to the child IMO, to have parents that advanced in age.
The best thing about being a grandparent, is that you can admire and then hand them back!

The nanny would do that anyway!

I know that they have people to do that for them. But can you imagine them really getting to know their grandchild? I mean changing diapers, feeding, and burping!

Camilla a resounding yes, Charles probably not!

How did I know you would say that, Skydragon?! I think Prince Charles would be lost changing a diaper. JMO.

Your all powerful crystal ball or am I predictable!

Even I have changed a nappy (diaper), but who on earth would want too!

I Think Prince Charles admitted as much when Prince William was born. If I remember, he said something to the effect of he was hopeless changing the diapers, although he loved giving Wills a bath!

I think that every thing has it time in life, and they will enjoy their grandchildren rather than their children. I wish they could have their opportunity before (I mean that it would be nice to see Prince Charles and her wife married when they wanted to, at their youth), but sadly, they hadn't... Life is not always nice...

Then William and Harry would have much different looks. Especially William who tends to look like Diana and our ever so cuddly Prince Harry who looks more like his father everyday (with a touch of Di thrown in)

That's so sweet! I agree with the masses that Charles and Camilla would rather enjoy their grandchildren than to start "parenting" all over again.

Even my mother has said she wouldn't want to babysit her grandchildren, but to be the grandmother instead.

The royal children sure do get that enjoyment without feeling that they have overstepped the bounds with their grandparents. The nanny gets that honour in having as the royal 'nappie' changer and disciplinarian. I remember seeing William's Ms. Barnes correcting William when he was a toddler with him crying his eyes out.

I agree Charles will grow very fond of Camilla's grandchildren and likewise for Camilla. I also hope that Andrew Parker Bowels is delighted of the fact that he is going to be a grandfather.

Well, since Camilla has had a hystorectomy (I hope I've spelt that right) I guess more kids are out of the question. I doubt they married with the intention of having a family of their own anyway with both having adult children.

I can imagine Camilla being a down-to-earth Grandma.

Unless she wanted to make the ultimate contribution to science and donate some preserved eggs, and Charles donate some sperm, and make a test tube baby, which might be kinda cool: The first Royal Test Tube baby!

I guess my test tube theory sounds a bit like an Alias episode, haha....
