Does a relatively simple/idiot proof camera exist which when set up, would auto upload its images to somewhere like Google Photos when connected with wifi or failing that USB? My elderly parents have finally mastered a digital camera but cannot reliably manage to connect it via USB, select the images, upload to somewhere etc. I'd like somewhere which once set up, it just works. Unfortunately they live far away so I am rarely at their physical computer and don't have remote access.

Windows Photo can import photos automatically when a camera is connected by USB:

You can then use your cloud interface to automatically upload the photos to the cloud for backup, sharing etc

ETA - unless there is a reason why your parents don't want you to have remote access to their computer I suggest using Teamviewer so you can help them remotely
