Angela Levin brands Camilla’s son’s comments as ‘brilliant’

Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker Bowles “couldn’t bare” the claim from Prince Harry that his mother was playing an “end game” in order to become the monarch’s wife.

That’s the verdict of royal author Angela Levin, who claimed Tom carried out a “brilliant” intervention when he stood up for Queen Camilla as he defended her on The News Agents podcast.

Camilla, who was originally married to Tom’s father Andrew Parker Bowles between 1973 and 1995, was among the subjects criticised in Harry’s memoir Spare.

Inside the book, which became the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history after its release in January, Harry made a number of claims against Camilla, including that he didn’t feel comfortable with her marrying his father King Charles III.

This led Tom to speak out about the book’s contents – a move welcomed by Ms Levin.

Speaking on Sky News Australia, the author – who penned the 2022 book Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort – said she felt it was “brilliant of him” to defend his mother.

She said: “He doesn’t talk about his mother very much, even though he is a chef and writes books.

“But I just think he couldn’t bare it. And he said it very gently. And he was asked things like: ‘What do you think now your mum is Queen?’

“And he said, ‘I don’t think of her as a Queen – she is my mum. She is my mother and she will always be my mother.'”

Tom spoke out earlier this month when quizzed about Spare’s contents. The 48-year-old insisted that Camilla “married the person she loved”, and not Charles simply because he has always been destined to be monarch.

He said: “I think change happens but I don’t care what anyone says – this wasn’t any sort of end game.

“She married the person she loved and this is what happened.”

The fallout of Harry’s book with his family has been fierce – and even saw calls for the Duke of Sussex, and his wife Meghan Markle, to be banned from the Coronation next month.

Harry described Camilla as a “villain”, and described how he felt she attempted to change the public perception of her in a “long game” to win over fans.

He added: “I have complex feelings about gaining a step-parent who I thought had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar.”

Andrew Lownie, who wrote the 2021 book Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, discussed how Camilla may react when she faces Harry for the first time since the book’s publication during an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.

He said: “[She will] naturally hurt but dignified. I’m sure she’ll behave impeccably towards him in public, whatever her private feelings.”
