Tom Parker Bowles isn’t secretly pining for a royal title. In fact, he thinks it would be a disastrous decision for the monarchy. During a podcast appearance, the food critic said it would lead to a mutiny among the British public. He also offered some little-known insights about King Charles and his mom, Queen Camilla.

Tom joked that giving him a prince title would cause outrage in the UK. Commenting on why he isn’t urging for a royal title, he said: “I’d tell you that would be the quickest way to revolution. I think we’re fairly balanced and sober and sensible country on the whole, but if I suddenly became prince, I think Buckingham Palace gates would be stormed. It would be appalling. Really, no… I think that would put back the long and glorious cause of the monarchy in Britain by many years, no.”
To be fair, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seems to have that covered.
Tom made the comments on an episode of the Good Food podcast. He also offered some insight into the King and Queen. Speaking of step-dad Charles, he revealed he is a “fountain of knowledge” who has “forgotten more than I will ever know”.
He also complimented his mom’s prowess in the kitchen. He said: “She’s a great cook, a natural cook, and there weren’t many spices… it was very, very traditional. I grew up in Wiltshire in the ’70s and early ’80s. We’d have English food.”
The food writer added of his upbringing: “I had a very traditional – albeit very happy and privileged – upbringing. It was a classic comfortable English upbringing.”
Speaking of the Queen, recent reports allege that she is currently furious at Kate Middleton – is a new royal feud in the works?
