Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker Bowles was asked about being given a prince title during a recent podcast appearance.
Tom joked that Buckingham Palace would be “stormed” if he was titled.
He called the prospect “appalling” and said he’d be keeping his name.
Prince William’s step-brother has entered the chat. Queen Camilla’s son, Tom Parker Bowles, just gave an interview with the Good Food Podcast (via The Telegraph) and was asked about the possibility of being made a prince, joking that Buckingham Palace would be “stormed” if he didn’t keep his “original name.”
“I tell you, that would be the quickest way to revolution,” he joked. “I think we’re a fairly balanced and sober and sensible country on the whole. But if I suddenly became prince, I think that Buckingham Palace gates would be stormed.”
He added, “It would be appalling. I think that would put back the long and glorious cause of the monarchy in Britain by many years.”

Tom also confirmed that he touched the Crown Jewels at the coronation, saying “They had some of the Crown Jewels, because the King and my mother had to practie carrying [them]… and it was just, I think it was the sceptre, or the diadem, I can’t remember. Anyway, just to hold it briefly was – you’re holding history, you’re holding 800 or 900 years of history, it’s incredible.”
He also gushed about his step-father, King Charles, saying he’s a “fountain of knowledge,” has “forgotten more than I will ever know,” and is a “hero of British farmers.” Meanwhile, Tom said of his mother Queen Camilla, “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.”
