Queen Camilla's son opens up about 'appalling' treatment of Prince Harry and William


Tom Parker Bowles has opened up about the brutal treatment he received from the paparazzi and how it's given him an insight into life for his stepbrothers, Prince Harry and William

Recalling a particularly distressing incident at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 when he was accused of drug-taking, the now 49 year old food critic remembers being chastised by King Charles amid the media frenzy. He shared with The Telegraph that for the last 15 year's he's been at his ex-wife's house for Christmas, where he's lounged around in comfy clothes, gone to the pub while dinner is cooking and tried to convince his children to watch The Wild Geese.

Reflecting on recent challenges, he added that it's been "hell of a two years for them" and explained that the older you get, the more "conscious you become of mortality", particularly following King Charles' cancer diagnosis.
