Clarence House says Laura Lopes, the daughter of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, gave birth to twin boys on Wednesday. The boys have been named Louis and Gus.
Camilla already has two other grandchildren. Lopes has a 23-month-old daughter with husband Harry, and her son Tom Parker Bowles has a 2-year-old daughter with his wife Sara.
