Food critic Tom Parker Bowles, the son of Queen Camilla, has written a new book called Cooking and the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles III. While speaking to The Times, Parker Bowles discussed his mother's favorite foods, and addressed rumors that she's fond of both smoking and drinking.

Queen Camilla's son has spoken out about his mother's "reputation for heavily drinking and smoking". Tom Parker Bowles, the son of the Queen and her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, has published a new book titled Cooking and the Crown.

In shows like British sitcom The Windsors or historical drama The Crown, Queen Consort Camilla is often shown with a lit cigarette between her fingers or a glass of liquor in her hand. Such portrayals have inaccurately construed her as a heavy drinker and smoker.
