Queen Camilla’s son shares why he'd never accept a royal title

Queen Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles, has no plans of becoming a prince, as he explained the consequences jokingly

During a recent chat on the Good Food podcast with host Samuel Goldsmith, the 51-year-old food writer, who works as a restaurant critic for The Mail on Sunday, hilariously explained why he would never want a royal title.

While chatting on the October 21 episode of the podcast, Goldsmith teased him by saying, “If my mum became Queen, I'd be like, 'I want to be a prince.'”

Tom responded by shutting down the idea with humor, he replied, “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,” Tom explained.

Goldsmith then joked that Tom could at least get a Netflix show out of it.

“You might get your own Netflix show, you know, if you do it!” he said, making Tom laugh.

“I wouldn't mind that!” Tom joked back, before adding, “But no, I think that would be… stick it, keep to my original.”

It is pertinent to mention that Camilla shares Tom and daughter Laura Lopes with her former husband, Andrew Parker Bowles.

She tied the knot with King Charles in 2005.
