Queen Camilla Parker sure has a creative son! Tom Parker Bowles, a food critic and writer, is the Queen Consort’s son from her first marriage to Andrew Parker Bowles. The now-queen married King Charles in 2005, after controversy due to their affair amid the monarch’s marriage to Princess Diana. With the late Princess passing in a car accident in 1997, Charles found a new wife Camilla Parker.
Fast-forward to 2012: Tom spilled the tea on his relationship with King Charles in an interview with The Telegraph. During the convo, he revealed he and his sister called him “Sir,” a nickname that has endured the test of time. However, he clarified that the moniker is not an obligation and that it comes from a childhood memory:
“When we were little, my mother would tell my sister and I that Sir was coming to visit, so the name stuck and to call him anything else would be very odd and unnatural.”
