Prince William could be spending Christmas with Queen Camilla‘s daughter Laura Lopes, who he used to have “terrible fights” with apparently.

The royal family will spend Christmas at Sandringham. King Charles is reportedly hosting more than 40 family members this festive period.

And one person who might be attending is Camilla’s daughter Laura. But what’s her history with step-brother William?

Prince William’s ‘terrible fights’ with Queen Camilla’s daughter Laura Lopes

Camilla has Laura and son Tom Parker Bowles from her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles.

Tom recently revealed that he had been invited to spend Christmas with the royals at Sandringham. Reports claim that Laura could join too.

William and Laura used to have terrible fights over who was to blame for their broken homes.

However, according to reports, William once had a tense relationship with Laura due to alleged fights they had.

It came when Camilla married William’s father, King Charles, in 2005.

The king and queen’s relationship back then was seen as controversial due to an alleged affair. The pair reportedly had an affair when they were both married.

Charles was married to William’s mother Princess Diana from 1981 to 1996. However, they had split in 1992.

Camilla and ex-husband Andrew were married from 1973 to 1995.

Royal author Katie Nicholl previously claimed that Prince William and Laura didn’t see eye-to-eye in those early days of Charles and Camilla’s marriage.

In her 2010 book, Harry and William: Behind the Palace Walls, Katie wrote: “William and Laura used to have terrible fights over who was to blame for their broken homes.

Prince William and Laura Lopes’ relationship

“William would blame Camilla for all the hurt she had caused his mother [Princess Diana], which would send Laura into a rage. Laura was not having any of it. She would take a hard line and fire back at William, ‘Your father has ruined my life.'”

However, in 2006, both Prince William and Prince Harry attended Laura’s wedding to husband Harry Lopes.

And it seems relations have become more positive in recent years. Laura’s daughter Eliza was a bridesmaid at Prince William and wife Kate’s wedding in 2011.

This year, the royals are reportedly spent to have one of their biggest ever Christmases at Sandringham.

The Prince of Wales recently told reporters during an engagement: “Am I ready for Christmas? No, no way am I ready.”

But he said he’s looking forward to spending it with 45 members of his family “all in one room”.
