Food writer Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla’s son, recently spoke about the idea of becoming a prince. He appeared on Samuel Goldsmith’s Good Food podcast and discussed the topic humorously.
Laughing at the suggestion, Parker Bowles said that being granted a royal title could cause an uproar in Britain. “I think we’re fairly balanced and sensible as a country, but if I suddenly became prince, I think Buckingham Palace gates would be stormed,” he joked.
He added, “It would be appalling. Really, no… I think that would put back the long and glorious cause of the monarchy by many years.”
The podcast host teased that Queen Camilla’s son might even get his own Netflix show if he were made a prince. Parker Bowles laughed and replied, “I wouldn’t mind that.”
Tom Parker Bowles is the elder child of Queen Camilla and her ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles. He has a sister, Laura Lopes. Both Tom and Laura were adults when their mother married King Charles in 2005.
Since then, Parker Bowles has often spoken about the challenges and joys of “blended families,” sharing insights from his own experience growing up in a complex family structure.
Despite the jokes, Parker Bowles has a successful career as a food writer and critic, making him well known outside the royal sphere. His humorous remarks about joining the royal family show a lighthearted perspective on life in the public eye.
Observers note that while the idea of Parker Bowles gaining a royal title is far-fetched, his comments shed light on how the monarchy is perceived in modern Britain. The public often reacts strongly to matters of titles and succession, making any change a topic of interest.
In interviews and public appearances, Queen Camilla’s son continues to balance humor with thoughtful reflections on family, fame, and the monarchy. Fans appreciate his candid and witty takes on royal life.
