LAIRD OF THE RING
Camilla's girl set to wed Scots landowner
By Donna White, Sunday Mail
18 September 2005

PRINCE CHARLES and wife Camilla could soon be celebrating another
wedding in the family.

Camilla's son Tom tied the knot last week - and his little sister Laura
is set to follow suit by marrying Highland laird Harry Lopes.

We can reveal Camilla and Prince Charles have already visited his
parents, George and Sarah, at their 3000-acre Skelpick estate on the
banks of the River Naver, near Bettyhill, Sutherland Although they have
been longtime acquaintances, this was the first occasion the
prospective in laws spent so much time in each other's company.

Laura, 26, and former model Harry, 29, have dated for nine years and
have just bought their first home together in Notting Hill, London.

The couple - who holidayed at Balmoral with Charles and Camilla in
April last year - are believed to have put off their engagement to
avoid upstaging the wedding of Laura's brother Tom, 31, to magazine
writer Sara Buys, 32.

A source revealed: "Charles and Camilla travelled to Skelpick from the
Castle of Mey after spending the weekend at the Mey games.

"George and Sarah enjoyed showing them around."

Harry is nephew of the late Lord Roborough and grandson of the late
Lord Astor of Hever.

He will inherit his family seat - the 1000-acre £3million Gnaton Hall,
near Plymouth.

As a model, he appeared in British and Italian Vogue and French
magazine Max.

But he quit the catwalk when he left Edinburgh University and started
accountancy training with a firm in London. He has worked in finance
ever since.

Friends say the couple buying a home together is a sign they will soon
make their union official.

Laura, an art gallery manager, has already told pals she wants to fill
the home with "lots of babies".

A source said: "Camilla is delighted Tom is married and hopes it will
be only a matter of time before she is buying a hat for Laura's wedding

Why would he inherit the family seat? Wouldn't his cousin (Hon.
Massey, b. 1969) who is heir to the title inherit the seat?

I suppose a Lopes family seat rather than a Roborough or Astor
family seat is intended in the reference?

Hope she stays sober to get through the wedding! She better double-up
on her AA meetings, or she will find herself in rehab for a 3rd time
for booze and cocaine addiction! Not wise to marry a dry drunk, if she
is really sober this time!

Hope the future husband has Laura pee in a cup and tested for drugs
before the wedding or he is in for years of heartache!
