Today in royal family feuds, Prince William is apparently…not a fan of his stepbrother, aka Queen Camilla’s son Tom Parker-Bowles. To the point where Wills is planning to bow out of Christmas with the royals if Tom is in attendance.
According to the Daily Beast, Prince William and Kate Middleton are “unlikely to attend” Christmas in Balmoral this year no matter what, but are “especially” poised to skip the event if Camilla invites Tom.
A source previously told the outlet that “It is best to avoid mentioning Tom around William” and that Wills is nervous about Tom’s “rather louche lifestyle as a Mayfair bon vivant.” Whatever that means!
Tom has been doing a ton of press recently for his new cooking book, and recently opened up to People about King Charles’ health amid his cancer diagnosis. “It’s a terrifying disease, and when someone close to you gets it in whatever capacity, it’s a very worrying thing,” he said. “But my mother is strong as well. She supports him in every way. I think it’s wonderful to have someone you love by your side. I’m incredibly proud of her. She’s at an age when most people think of retiring, but she never complains; she just gets on with it.”
Prince William doesn’t seem to be a huge fan of his family members doing interviews for their books (see: Spare) so TBD on how he feels about Tom’s press tour. But if they do spend Christmas together…can’t wait for the courtiers to spill!
