William and Harry don't want their kids calling Camilla their grandmother!

[Price21210]

I read that both Harry and William have made that very clear, that is not their grandmother, step or otherwise. She is only their father's wife.

So?

I didn't call my grandmother's second husband my grandfather. I knew him from when I was a baby but I also had a real Grandad. My parents were very clear on this.
There were no issues in the family.

I imagine it's the same for the Royals but people want to make more of it as it seems like a Diana vs Camilla drama again.

Fair enough. Although I would expect them to be calling her Your Majesty as she will be crowned Queen very shortly.

I think Queen trumps Grandmother 🤣

(Waiting for those who have no sense of humour)

You know this is true because....?

If it's something that William and Harry agreed on, it must have been a few years ago before all the dog bowl and hallucinogenics nonsense.

I think this is very normal, my dc don’t call my stepmother grandma but they do still love her very much and have a good relationship. My step siblings didn’t call my grandmother grandma but they equally loved her and she them.She had her own grandchildren ( me and my sibling) and it felt special that we got to call her grandma.

H&W don’t call her mother so why would their children call her grandmother, plus Camilla has her own grandchildren.

Perhaps I'm lucky as I'm Granny Cliona to my grandchildren. They are the children of my stepdaughters but I'm treated like another grandparent and feel very much loved by them. I'm privileged to be in their lives.

No idea how you know this about William and Harry though.

Its not that unusual, I suspect it doesn't matter anyway as I doubt their children will ever have much of a relationship with his family, or hers. It's unusual to be essentially estranged from both families, I wonder if there's a common denominator? Anyway, who really cares! I don't think Williams children writing to Diana was that odd really, people deal with loss and coming to terms with the fact their parent didn't meet their children differently. They're going to be made very aware of who Diana was, her legacy and what happened so I expect the benefit or speaking about it as a family is even more important.

Don't think this thread has probably gone the way the OP thought 🤔

I've got stepchildren and they have children. It's was made clear to me that I'm considered a grandparent (as is the other step parent) and could choose a name based on that. It's lovely, I was very touched, and as the children's parents say, the more people who love their child, the better.

I was just thinking the same ☺️

each to their own. my mum died and when I had kids I decided that my SM would be grandma, I always told my kids about my mum, but didn't see why my kids should miss out on a gran that loved them.
BUT my SM was not the OW.

And when the press refer to Camilla’s grandchildren, they are not referring to George, Charlotte, etc.

i don’t see the problem.

William said some time ago that his children had two grandfathers and one grandmother - this is pretty old news.

I always told my kids about my mum, but didn't see why my kids should miss out on a gran that loved them

Just because someone doesn't get called Granny doesn't mean they're any less loved by the children.

My friends Stepdad doesn't get called Grandpa but he has the best & closest relationship with her children out of all 4 grandparents. The names irrelevant, the relationship & love is what matters

And you know this how ?

More crappy crap for the sad people obsessed with the RF and all the hangers on

@Redglitter it was what suited up. I was talking about my SM , she had no children herself and wanted to be their gran, it worked for us. as I said each to their own.

That is the same for our family- 3 sets of grandparents all called and seen as grandparents.

Doesn't seem a big deal to me. If I were in that situation I can't imagine expecting a second wife to be called grandmother. It's easy enough to go for an alternative name that also shows a close relationship.

Non issue. Kids will give her a cute name like Milla or something . End of story.

So? Not really much of a story is it? She’s not their grandmother and Camillla has her own grandchildren anyway.

To show solidarity with William and Harry, I won't be calling Camilla 'Granny' either...

...if I should ever meet her.

My husband step mother has been in his life since he was 5 - our children call her Granny Name.
Both my parents remarried when I was 24 - I didn’t grow up with their partners so don’t quite feel the same - so my children just call them by their names. I know they both care for my children.

Didn't call my GM's second husband grandad or any other name, and DF didn't call him dad - he was Joe to everyone. Don't see the issue here; and probably Camilla isn't the slightest bit bothered. She has her own grandkids to call her nan or whatever.
