Andrew Parker-Bowles, Camilla's first husband

Already by their marriage his looks were fading.

A few years into their marriage, by the time they had two children in elementary school, he had really declined--his mouth began to look like Grmupy Cat's:

Damn that’s tragic. At least her and Charles have each other now. It really did seem like true love between them.

And now he looks like this--here with his former lover Princess Anne (he is godfather to her daughter Zara).

Looks fade, children!

Was the top photo from 1965? They both look attractive in that photo. Camilla actually looks pretty!

They both quite bad in their 1973 wedding pic. British people sure don't age well.

That is not him at the OP. No way. that guy has much darker hair and thicker eyebrows.

The man in OP's photo is Rupert Hambro, of the Hambro banking family. Camilla did date him.

Here's Rupert with his blonde wife at some event.

Rupert was fine as hell

Wow, and hes actually a nice -looking old dude, too.

Rupert has been married to the same woman since 1970. Robin Boyer-Hambro, she's an American-born philanthropist and a former London Editor of American Vogue. Guess she has her own money. His family was originally from Denmark.

Seeing how awful Camilla turned out looking, he dodged a bullet!

APB remarried, but his second wife passed away some time ago. I’m surprised he’s still single. He seemed like the kind of man who needed to have a wife (if only to cheat on).

APB picked up Covid-19

What came of Andrew and Camilla children?

Camilla’s brother Mark Shand was a well known hottie himself. Supposedly he had a beautiful body and women were crazy about him.

So is that actually Cammie in OP's pic? Where are her horse teef?

Ewww, no. Just no.

So is that Camilla in the OP photo? I suspect not.

R9, now THAT is a good-looking older couple.

Yes, R17, that's Camilla in OP's photo. It seems the span of her attractiveness was very brief.

What's with the Brits and their teeth? Even the wealthy have crap teeth.

I remember the Queen Mother's horrific teeth.

Well, she looks pretty damn attractive in the OP photo. I like the dress, too.

Rupert was an absolute stud, he’s still very good looking.

Aging well has a lot to do with bone structure and body type. You cannot do a thing about it.

Why does Princess Anne have dark hair in that photo?

Before she turned 21, Camilla had a Sienna Miller-in-Alfie vibe. The fashion really suited her.

I would fuck the dude in OP's pic.

Andrew Parker Bowles is said to be incredibly dishy and sexy. Not the best looking man as he’s aged, he’s retained an allure that overrides his physical attractiveness. Look up Lucien Freud’s classic portrait called “The Brigadier” and you’ll see APB at his strongest and steeliest. He’s quite a guy.

Camilla and Charles found true love with each other. They don't care what anyone thinks.

I envy their devotion to each other.

Mark Shand was casually handsome with a potent sexual energy

Lovely body as well

It is weird because when Andrew & Camilla were together on weekends (when they took a break from their outside affairs) they would be sitting at their kitchen table eating Sunday Brunch, inviting friends over

And on that kitchen table, all the Sunday newspaper, with Charles & Camilla splashed all over the front pages.

Of course Andrew, Camilla and their friends all being British never said a word about those Charles & Camilla headlines starring them back in the face, They all acted like they didn't even notice the headlines.

I thought that was Charlton Heston in "Planet of the Apes" @R29. Then I realized there weren't any elephants in the movie.

I don't see it. He looks like a Colonel Blimp type.

The portrait, which was painted from 2004 to 2006, was sold at Christie’s for $35,000,000,

His belly looks like a nutsack in that painting

By all accounts he was a fantastic fuck. That made up for any diminution in his looks, apparently.

If he was fucking British women and they're saying he was a great fuck, the bar is low.

Like being the greatest steakhouse in India.

R29

Wasn't Mark Shand married to Clio Goldsmith?

I didn’t know Rottie was a ‘Georgie Girl’?

I’ve always said that Englishmen have strange taste.

[quote]I didn’t know Rottie was a ‘Georgie Girl’?

Camilla did look a bit like Lynn Redgrave. They both had horse faces, perfect for the moneyed horsey set!

Wealthy former Vogue editor, yet that choice of costume . . .

R28, It's the gaze, the look, the eyes that say it all.

You can take care of your skin, not drink every night, and not let your weight go more than 20 lbs. overweight.

I think Andrew Parker-Bowles was much hotter than Prince Charles and still is.

Both the Parker-Bowles seemed to be attractive, from a distance, for about ten minutes of their entire lives.

And ghastly looking children.... just Google 'em.

Imagine if Charles had been allowed to marry Camilla... the attractiveness of the resulting children would have killed the monarchy.

Charles married his first wife second and his second wife first, which worked out well in terms of his children’s attractiveness and him having a happy old age.

R45 - Those are pretty ghastly looking children.

How did Camilla’s late brother end up being so attractive?

Maybe he wanted to have some fun, R43. These are straight people, not gay men who will still be single at 50.

[quote]R1 Already by their marriage his looks were fading.

Jebus, what about her?

[quote]Aging well has a lot to do with bone structure and body type. You cannot do a thing about it.

My surgeon would profoundly disagree.

Camilla is Charles grandmother, idiots

[quote]How did Camilla’s late brother end up being so attractive?

Even ugly families generally crank out one (modest) exception who has the longest shot at keeping the looks... look at the Spencers.... Diana got all the looks in her immediate family and presumably would have held them into old age, to some extent, given her mother's relative attractiveness.

Where did Diana get that big honker from?

Why in hell didn’t she get the thing fixed??

Has anyone read any of the books in Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles? Are they good trashy fun?

[R32]: Beautiful painting, but it makes that man look like the rotten end of Dorian Grey.

Never let it be said Lucien Freud didn’t have a sense of humor.

[quote]At least her and Charles have each other now.

Oh, dear.

AP-B is being played in "The Crown" by Andrew Buchan of "Broadchurch" (which starred "Queen" Olivia Colman.)

I wonder why huge noses on women are forgiven by the Brits. Was there just a lot of them in certain bloodlines, and since they couldn’t do anything about it way-back-when, they threw up their hands and simply deemed it “aristocratic”?

A big nose like Diana’s is a masculine feature. It’s hard to grasp how that meshes with the whole “English Rose” facade.

What a tragically ugly couple in R1's photo.

It’s so fucked up that Camilla sucked all the best years out of this man’s life, like the bovine vampire that she is. Her and Charles deserve one another.

I wish Diana had ended up with Andrew.

^^ I don't think even Andrew would fuck a corpse.

At least with her strong maternal instinct, Di might have steered Andrew away from the whole pedo route?

Rupert Hambro and his wife still look great. Misleading that that cutie is in OP's photo as if he were the trout-like Andrew Parker-Bowles.

Probably a less shallow people, R60.

R60 Yes, Di had her moments but she was not beautiful by any stretch.

Maybe if she hadn’t puked herself thin, the nose wouldn’t have stood out so much?

Diana had large feet too.

R69, Diana was nearly six feet tall! Small feet would have looked odd on such a tall frame

R24 I'd categorize Camilla as more of a Georgey Girl.

[quote]Her and Charles deserve one another.

Oh, dear.

Being English is depressing. I went to a mostly english school (no third world,jews, Pollack's,etc) And was a little bit above average looking. When I went out into the world , encountered people with perfect teeth,fingers etc.. People whose ancestors faced recent starvation etc have much better genes. All the people with bad teeth don't make it through periods of high competition . The royal family are actually pretty good looking for English people.
