Discussing how she and Queen Camilla bonded all those years ago, Jo reveals it was over their relatable shared experiences as mothers and grandmothers.

She told the publication, which she featured in with her daughter and two teenage granddaughters: “Our children are the same age, so we had our heartaches when our kids were travelling at the same time, with no mobile phones or emails, and we were terrified of where they were and what they were doing.”
