Queen Camilla’s son has suggested that his elevation to princely status would trigger public unrest and an assault on the royal residence.<\/p>\n

Tom Parker Bowles, 50, has responded to questions about potentially receiving a royal title following his stepfather’s accession to the throne in 2023.<\/p>\n

“I tell you, that would be the quickest way to revolution,” Mr Parker Bowles quipped during the interview.<\/p>\n

He continued: “I think we’re a fairly balanced and sober and sensible country on the whole.<\/p>\n

“But if I suddenly became prince, I think that Buckingham Palace gates would be stormed.”<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old food critic and writer made these remarks whilst discussing his family’s position within the royal household during an appearance on Radio Times’s podcast.<\/p>\n

The restaurant critic expressed strong opposition to any potential title, describing such a development as “appalling”.<\/p>\n

Mr Parker Bowles warned it “would put back the long and glorious cause of the monarchy in Britain by many years.”<\/p>\n

The father-of-two emphasised his intention to maintain his current surname, joking that he would be “sticking” to his original name.<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old is the eldest child of Queen Camilla and Andrew Parker Bowles, a retired Household Cavalry officer to whom she was married for 22 years.<\/p>\n

His comments come at a time when debate continues over royal titles.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson announced they would cease using their Duke and Duchess of York titles.<\/p>\n

This followed disturbing correspondence that emerged between the former couple and the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n

Several charities distanced themselves from Fergie, while Prince Andrew could also be persuaded to leave his 30-room Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge.<\/p>\n

However, Mr Parker Bowles was not addressing recent controversies surrounding other members of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

The food writer made clear his preference to remain without a princely designation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queen Camilla’s son has suggested that his elevation to princely status would trigger public unrest and an assault…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231319,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[98163,6491,96,1852,2331,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-231318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-camilla","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-royal","tag-sgg","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231319"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
