Prince Harry ‘sent telling message by Queen Camilla’s son’ after Spare bombshells – expert

It has been revealed that Queen Camilla’s food critic son Tom Parker Bowles is releasing a brand new book lifting the lid on royal cooking – and one expert has claimed it sends a clear message to his stepbrother Prince Harry

Prince Harry is being sent a clear, telling message by Queen Camilla’s son who has announced he is to publish a new book, an expert has claimed.

Food critic Tom Parker Bowles has revealed he is to release a book later this year called Cooking and the Crown, which will feature recipes from royal banquets as well as secrets from palace kitchens. His stepbrother Harry released his own book, a controversial memoir called Spare, last year, where he took aim at many of his royal relatives, including Camilla. The book was filled with bombshell after bombshell as he alleged his stepmother Camilla was ‘dangerous’ and a ‘villain’ and claimed his dad King Charles didn’t hug him after his mother Princess Diana died.

And according to royal expert Phil Dampier, Tom’s book shows that it’s possible to lift the lid on the monarchy without “denigrating’ it. He told The Sun: “He is sending a message that you can talk about the monarchy in positive terms and not denigrate it as Harry did in Spare. Harry washed his dirty linen in public and that is something Tom would never do.”

He added: “As a journalist, he [Tom] is inevitably a natural gossip and he must have been privy to so many secrets over the years, like when his mother was going to marry Charles, and so many bits of inside information that others would kill for. But he has remained discreet and would obviously never do anything to upset his mother, who trusts him totally.”

Tom is Camilla’s first of two children with her former husband Andrew Parker Bowles. He is a well-known food writer and often appears on cookery shows. He has authored several books and published in magazines, including Conde Nast Traveller, GQ and Esquire.
