"I wanted a proper black one with zips and attitude and swagger. Marlon Brando in The Wild Ones or Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator. I don't think my mother got the hint," the food critic said. James Whatling / MEGA "What I unwrapped was a toffee-brown Marks [and] Spencer monster, blouson-style with a naff tartan lining. Lovejoy by way of Alan Partridge," he recalled. "Worse still, I had to pretend to adore it and wear the thing all day long. The shame still burns as fierce as brandy-damned plum pudding," he added. Parker Bowles doesn't want a royal title Despite Camilla being part of the royal family, Parker Bowles - whose father is retired army officer Andrew Parker Bowles - does not want a title. "I tell you, that would be the quickest way to revolution," he said on the "Good Food" podcast when questioned on the topic. "I think we're a fairly balanced and sober and sensible country on the whole," he continued. "But if I suddenly became a prince, I think that Buckingham Palace gates would be stormed. It would be appalling. I think that would put back the long and glorious cause of the monarchy in Britain by many years." MEGA Parker Bowles feels for William and Harry While Parker Bowles gets to live a somewhat private life, the same cannot be said for his stepbrothers Prince William and Prince Harry. "I learned a long time ago not to put my fat fingers into the world of William and Harry," the writer told The Telegraph in 2024. "It was appalling what they went through. I've had a billionth of what they've had to go through, but I sympathize," he added. "Counting how many paps were at the gates, to see who was watching us and taking photographs, it was all as normal as bacon and eggs in the morning. You didn't think of it in any other way. [But] it was barbaric." The post Camilla gave her son the 'worst present' ever appeared first on Wonderwall.com.
