Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker-Bowles has talked about his mother in the latest interview.
Speaking with Gabby Logan on her podcast The Mid.Point, Tom said that “my parents are getting older.”
Tom, who is the son of Camilla and her first husband, Brigadier Andrew Parker-Bowles and stepson of King Charles, said, “Your parents matter.”
He went on to say, “My parents are getting older. Birth, death and taxes are the definites in life – it matters.”
Just days after Charles opened up about the “frightening” experience of his cancer diagnosis, Tom has praised his mother, Queen Camilla.
He said, “If my mother asks for something, you try your best. She's been a great mother to us.”
“We're there for them as well – as they get older, you appreciate what they've done,” he added.
Tom noted, “[When young], you take your parents for granted – my children are that age now. They only ring if it's, 'Can I get some money please Dad?”
“I appreciate going out now with my son and daughter, I love it when we go out to lunch dinner, and we appreciate it,” he added.
However, he expressed his concerns of aging, saying, “I like getting older [because] you're not expected to go out.”
It is worth mentioning that this comes after King Charles opened up about his cancer journey.
Notably, Charles also invited cancer sufferers to Buckingham Palace to recognize the incredible work of cancer organizations.
