Some of you seem way over-invested in the relationships of total strangers.

What does that mean? You're commenting too, after all

@Samcro yeah he’s a food writer for Mail on Sunday, late 90’s he was exposed as dealing and taking a bunch of drugs and he said ‘sorry’ and has discussed it every now and then since.

please tell me he is not involved in the coronation(apart from going)

cornfleurs · 20/04/2023 16:24

please tell me he is not involved in the coronation(apart from going)

Now why would that be? Does he sound in some way unsuitable because he has been associated with drugs?

Personally, I'm only familiar with T P-B as a food writer, rather a talented one. He may have had a misspent youth (I wouldn't know about that) but he comes across as an intelligent and interesting man, IMO.

He's also clearly (as quoted in the Times) not interested in titles or in pretending to be important - both he and his sister keep a low profile.

Whaeanui · 20/04/2023 16:41

I don’t know @Samcro but I’d be surprised if he did, he’s always been low profile as far as his mothers role in the royal family goes.

Tom Parker-Bowles has countered some of Harry's allegations about Camilla. He shows great restraint under the circumstances.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/camilla-prince-harry-tom-parker-bowles-coronation-2023-6t9ncrcvr

There is another Times article in which Giles Coren calls TPB his best friend and lunches with him twice a month consuming vast quantities of alcohol together and will confess anything to him. Lest we forget it was Giles Coren with the now infamous tweet that suggested relations between Rose Hanbury and William to which he later recanted. Hmm ....

The dots seem to be connecting themselves.

In SPARE Harry says William came to be in a rage and said "this time Camilla has gone too far" and referred to a story that was in the paper at the time.

Someone did a timeline, and found that the only story Wills could have been angry about that around that time was the really strange "Rural rivals" story.

I don't know if there was an affair, and I don't care, it's their business.

But the rural rivals story was just really, really odd.

Especially as there was a follow up clean up in Aisle 4 story saying it was meant to damage Kate.

If Giles and Tom are best friends it gets curiouser and curiouser.

They are NOT best friends. They were possibly university friends and they both worked as food critics but not best friends.

MrsMaxDeWinter · 20/04/2023 17:01

Incidentally, how many secret weapons does this family have, or need???

From that article - sounds very close to me.

“He is not all cloistered. I think he’s seen the worst that the press and the media and public opinion can do to a person and reckons he can cope with everything hereon,” says Giles Coren, who lunches — martinis, two bottles of wine, a Poire Williams to finish — with Parker Bowles at least twice a month. He counts him as not only his closest friend among the restaurant critics (“not much of an achievement”) but a friend to whom he will trust his darkest confessions.
“You get an impression of indiscretion but that is because when he talks about his family, he’s talking about the King. So it sounds a bit indiscreet but it never is. He keeps a secret better than anybody.
“He is incredibly respectful about his stepfather, whom he refers to only as his stepfather, and obviously to the Queen, but he tells funny stories about them and does their voices.”

That photo. Camilla looks the most relaxed and at ease I've ever seen. Expect she is around her kids. Well we all are around our kids I suppose.

They sound like mates, not best friends. I am not speculating in this case, I actually know.

@PreparationPreparationPrep

When I read posts, I imagine which Royal "experts" posters would be in real life.

I have already identified an Afua Hirsh, a Sarah Vine, an Ingrid Seward, a Jennie Bond and a Tessa Dunlop

And all the name changers would be Angela Levin 😆

I'm not sure if your post is a joke. However, the majority of the vitriol to H & M. Twitter with the mainstream media Sun/Mail/Express/GB news, TALK TALK News, to name a few and names below

Piers Morgan
Jeremy Clarkson
Dan Wooton (GB news) and general GB news
Nigel Farage (yes, really)
Darren Grimes
Angela Levin
Richard Madely
Eamon Holmes
Paul Burrell (Diana butler)
Camilla Tomlinson (Telegraph), who wants H to leave M and come back to the U.K
Richard Little-John
Sarah Vine
Robert Jobson
Tom Bowey (Openly admitted he would do anything to bring M down)
Roya Knikabb (Think surname spelling wrong) Shockingly The Times with her recent picture of Camilla with a tiara on, with the strapline of "She won the games of thrones" (very nasty taste and considering Diana death worse)

All friends/friendly with Camilla, whose office, along with W + K, is the source of twisted leaks and lies plus what the media make up

If you look at that list, they are all a certain type of person: mysogonist and more.

I'm sure I've missed many out. That will give you a good list to put characters, too 😃

vera99 · 20/04/2023 17:41

Those TPB revelations are very interesting. I would class having 2 very boozy lunches together every month with Giles Coren, and he says to TPB he will reveal his darkest confessions counts in male world as best friends and does certainly colour that quote as being inside information. Maybe it was after such a boozy lunch he tweeted away indiscreetly to be piled upon soon after.

Tom Parker Bowles would, wouldn't he! It's his mother.

Great restraint? Give me strength. If you really researched this stuff, you would know H & M are telling the truth.

Have you read H book or watched in full the Netflix interviews!!! If you had, you can tell what H & M are saying is true

Sudeko · 20/04/2023 17:48

Well, it just shows that you will make stories up to support what you actually want to believe regardless of the truth of the matter. They are mates, not best friends, I am stating that as a fact but you still want to believe your own theories.

vera99 · 20/04/2023 17:54

Well Sudeko without corroborating your assertion with details you are just another random person on the internet whereas the source of that is a Times article quoting Giles Coren. Best mates / close friends whatever - they are having frequent boozy lunches together, and he did post that tweet. So if there was insider information her would be in an almost unique position to know. I would say that's a very compelling piece of information unknown before. And let's not forget it was also asserted that H&M were thrown under the bus to put the press off the scent from scandals elsewhere.

Both are the gardeners friends btw vital parts in the great Circle of Life ! @malapast is to be congratulated for posting that article. One does idly wonder if the KP media team post on Mumsnet ......I have my suspicions.

But you wrote the post at 15:02 to start this?

Is TPB the same one who introduced William to marijuana? Or you don't know about that?

Wasn't it great to see the Sussex Squad mentioned in the Sentebale report? They apparently raised over 60 000 dollars. Seems to be a good use of energy and passion.
