Camilla’s son Tom Parker Bowles is dishing out his opinion on his mother’s forthcoming coronation with husband King Charles.
The food critic, 48, first touched upon the reported “Not My King” protests that are set to go down on May 6 in the United Kingdom — the date of the monarchs’ crownings.
“Everyone has the right to think what they want,” he told the News Agents podcast in a recent interview. “We live in, thankfully, a free country,” Parker Bowles explained, adding that if citizens want to protest “that’s their right to do so.”

I’d just stick with the fish and chips. I hear they do that well.
He probably got that from Anne Boylyne.
Well, nobody’s perfect.
She was “following her heart”, a victim of romance and manipulation.
Read MRS. BEETONS' EVERYDAY COOKERY AND HOUSEKEEPING BOOK, for starters!
You don't like roast beef, roast duck, chicken salad, chicken pot pie, breaded and fried cod, salmon in many different ways, lamb chops,roast leg of lamb, etc.? These and many other such dishes, which Americans seem to imagine are American dishes, are English ones! Even sandwiches were invented in England!
And they also make some delicious desserts, vegetable dishes, jams, and jellies.
Menu: hors d’oeuvres made of crickets and earthworms with a side of snail, garnish with manure.
What about Yorskshire pudding or bangers and mash?
That’s patently ridiculous, off topic, and neither funny nor clever.
I notice you didn’t say it wasn’t true. But at least he was British.
Henry VIII was KING for decades, when he went after Anne.
His Coronation took place when he was 18!
The “Full English” breakfast is pretty good. And the sunday roast is ok.

And also am quite fond of Spotted Dick, which is a delicious pastry treat for high tea.
And the present day Royals ARE Brits!
Do you really want to go all the way back in history to find an 100% indigenous Brit king? There wasn't one, for all of England!
William the Conqueror was a Norman; part French, part Viking and he was the first king who was king of the whole nation and not just parts of it.
And well before the Germans came in, there had been intermarriage spouses from France and other nations.
James I was a Scot, for instance.
We will never know where Henry got syphillus. It could have been from one of his wives or he roaming the streets of London.
Oh, my! It’s Michael Keaton.
What about toads in a hole, faggots and peas, black pudding, Piccalilli, rag pudding, jellied eels, panackelt, potted shrimp, rag pudding, groaty dick, stargazey pie, laver bread. And if you go north of the border, haggis and Scotch woodcock?
Someone else did that.
You mean sandwiches weren’t invented in the Sandwich Islands (a.k.a. the Hawaiian Islands)?
I had no idea how true this was until I went to London for the first time a few years ago. I will admit that they had some good steakhouses, but otherwise the search for some kind of flavor usually led to either pizza or Indian food. The traditional English breakfast was fine as well, but it’s hard to screw up eggs, bacon (their version) and beans.
Yes, because the good one, Arthur, died.
Maybe it’s not too late to restore the Stuarts. I think one of the Wittelsbachs has the best genealogical claim to the throne.
