Prince Harry recently spoke about why his sister, Laura Lopes, is kept relatively secret from the public eye. In an interview with The Times, Harry said that Lopes has always wanted to live a private life and that he respects her wishes.
"She's not part of the institution," Harry said. "She's not in the spotlight. She's just a normal person who wants to live a normal life."
Harry said that he and Lopes are close and that they talk regularly. He said that he is proud of her and that he is glad that she has been able to live her life the way she wants to.
"She's a great person," Harry said. "She's a great sister. And I'm lucky to have her in my life."
Laura Lopes is the daughter of Camilla Parker Bowles and Andrew Parker Bowles. She is a successful businesswoman and has her own fashion label. She is married to Harry Lopes, a former banker, and they have three children.
Lopes has always kept a low profile and has rarely spoken to the media. In a rare interview with The Times in 2011, she said that she was "grateful" for her privacy and that she wanted to "live a normal life."
"I'm not a royal," she said. "I'm just a normal person who happens to be related to the royal family."
Lopes's decision to keep a low profile is understandable. The British royal family is under constant scrutiny from the media and the public. Lopes has chosen to live her life outside of the spotlight and she should be respected for her decision.
