Queen's son Thomas Parker Bowles makes morbid admission: ‘I'd be dead by now'

Queen Camilla’s son Thomas Parker Bowles recently sat down to discuss his financial situation as well as his thoughts.

The son of the current queen consort revealed some of the inner workings about this, during an interview on the White Wine Question Time podcast.

According to the queen’s son, his upbringing was not as expected.

He even admitted to being ‘grateful’ about his money matters, because they made him build a career in food writing rather than focus on a guaranteed sum by his parents.

He also set the record straight about trust funds and said, “Sadly, no trust fund.” Before adding, “you know, actually, it's a good thing not having a trust fund. I'd probably be dead if I'd had one.”

He didn’t end there, and rather added, “obviously, I had to work like everyone. You know, you have to work. It's important. I stumbled somewhat into food writing, 25 years ago when the landscape was rather different.”

In terms of his experience he explained he’d “worked for a wonderful film PR company called DDA” which allowed him to be near celebrities.

“So you'd be taking Alicia Silverstone round London in the '90s, or Anna Friel, or whatever. But eventually, enough was enough. I got sacked...” he added near the end and signed off.

For those unversed, the son of the current monarch’s wife released a book in 2024 titled Cooking & The Crown: Royal Recipes From Queen Victoria to King Charles III, that showcases royal eating habits and the likes.
