Queen Camilla, known for her discerning nature, maintains certain traditions and preferences that set her apart in the modern age. While she makes a renowned roast chicken, she rarely cooks for King Charles at home. Her son, Tom Parker Bowles, has shed light on her distinctive habits and security measures in his new book, "Cooking & The Crown."
The Queen's communication practices are notably traditional. She eschews modern messaging apps like WhatsApp, opting instead for an old-fashioned Nokia handset. This choice is influenced by her security team's directives, aimed at shielding her from potentially harmful content.
"It takes a bit more planning now… I probably would call or text. She can't do WhatsApp… which is probably a good thing because you can't send all those appalling things you get… But it's security." – Tom Parker Bowles
Despite the limitations of her phone, the Queen stays informed. According to Parker Bowles, she is exceptionally observant, always aware when someone is in town.
"She's very sort of beady on these things. She would know I was here and she would say, 'come over,' without a shadow of a doubt." – Tom Parker Bowles
Tom Parker Bowles recently spoke at the Castle Hotel in Windsor to promote his book. His work underscores the powerful role food plays in diplomacy and unity, a theme he believes could bridge gaps between world leaders.
