The Queen and Andrew Parker Bowles stepped out in London

Queen Camilla reunited with her ex-husband at a book launch event.

The former couple attended their son Tom Parker Bowles's new book launch in London on Thursday evening.


Camilla, 77, who married King Charles in 2005, is said to still be "joined at the hip" to her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, 84.

The couple were married for 22 years, before finally calling it quits in 1995.

The pair put on a friendly display as they reunited at Tom's event, which was held to mark the release of his new book, 'Cooking and The Crown: Royal Recipes From Queen Victoria To King Charles III'.

The book, set to be released on September 26, will contain royal recipes, such as Queen Camilla's porridge and George V's curry.

Camilla was also joined by her daughter Laura Lopes, her sister Annabel Eliot and Andrew's niece Louisa.

The Queen wore a monochrome polka dot maxi dress for the event.

Camilla and Andrew, who is dating TV presenter Anne Robinson, have maintained a strong and close friendship.

Andrew even received invitations to his ex-wife's second wedding in 2005 and the King's Coronation last year.

Speaking of their bond, a friend previously said: "They are joined at the hip. He arranges so much for her."

They continued to tell The Mail: "They have lunch together the whole time. He’s right in there. He was always, and still is, Camilla’s co-conspirator."

In 1995, Andrew and Camilla released a statement discussing their plans for divorce, which read: "Throughout our marriage we have always tended to follow rather different interests, but in recent years we have led completely separate lives."

Queen Camilla married King Charles 10 years later at the Windsor Guildhall.

Meanwhile, Andrew tied the knot with garden designer Rosemary Pitman in 1996.

Pitman sadly died of cancer in 2010.
