Tom Parker Bowles, son of Queen Camilla, said he has no interest in a royal title, calling it harmful to the monarchy.

Tom Parker Bowles, son of Queen Camilla, said on a podcast in October 2023 that he has no interest in a royal title, joking it would provoke public backlash and harm the monarchy’s stability. He emphasized that such a move would be detrimental to the institution’s long-term standing and dismissed the idea as “appalling.” Though his half-siblings hold royal titles, Parker Bowles, not being a biological child of King Charles, has no claim to one. He praised his mother’s traditional cooking and his stepfather King Charles as a “fountain of knowledge,” while reaffirming that Camilla remains his mother in private life. No official title changes have been announced.
