The name Sara Buys might not ring a bell right away, but the name Sara Parker Bowles?
That one might pique some interest since her shared surname with Camilla, Queen Consort, is no coincidence.
Since her divorce, Sara has remained relatively close with her former in-laws, particularly Camilla.
“It was still the hate years.
[Camilla] wasn’t accepted at all.
She didn’t talk about it.
She was just very brave and uncomplaining,” Sara toldThe Times.
These days, the former fashion editor stays busy with her new company, Wardrobe Revival.
She is her own woman, confident, career-oriented, with a “cool girl” vibe.
While she may not officially be royalty, Sara Parker Bowles is undeniably a royal success.
A reception for the happy couple followed at Middlewick House, the Parker Bowles family home.
She noted, “I’d do it very differently now, but it had to be really formal.
It had to be what it was.”
In fact, it was Umpa who reached out via email to inquire about a birthday gift for Lola.
Parker Bowles recalled the inquiry in The Times.
“It was just surreal.
Like language from a fairytale.”
Hilariously enough, since King Charles III’s coronation, family dynamics have gotten even more bizarre.
Is your mum the Queen of England?'"
She then quipped, “And now, actually, she bloody is.”
However, the young Parker Bowles brood may not have had a storybook childhood.
Their parents separated when Freddy was only eight years old, and their father began seeing journalist Alice Procope.
The couple had been together for almost two years when Procope was diagnosed with cancer and died from it.
Marriage is a wonderful thing in the long term, but there are ups and downs."
That is the promise from Sara Parker Bowles on her company,Wardrobe Revivals' home page.
They put together outfits, so it takes 20 minutes to get ready in the morning.
People think it’s frivolous, but clothes are currency.
Fashion can embolden women."
One of the most important things she learned is what works on her body.
Especially when it comes to timeless pieces that transcend trends.
That’s the mentality she says she hopes to impress upon her Wardrobe Revivals clientele.
Per The Times, “You should never pay full price for anything,” she insists.
“It’s about research, not going straight to Harrods.
I want to teach people to stop making loads of impulsive cheap buys and expensive mistakes.”
We love to see such resourceful sartorial habits!
“He wanted to go in the gold carriage, but he didn’t get to.
Then his face on the balcony I could see he was just like, woah!
And what mother wouldn’t be if her son was part of history?
Who can forget Jessica Lange as the manipulative, murderous mother-in-law in the movie “Hush”?
Or how about Jane Fonda in “Monster-In-Law”?
The film’s title says it all!
For Sarah Parker Bowles and her former mother-in-law Camilla, Queen Consort, those stereotypes do not apply.
The two enjoyed and continue to enjoy a strong friendship.
“She’s the human face of the royal family, because she’s not part of it.
You need those outsiders really,” Parker Bowles wisely said.
She told The Times, “Camilla was always in it for the right reasons.
