“Thomas and Laura Parker Bowles: Queen’s Children Leading Hidden Lives in UK”

They are the queen’s children. Nevertheless, Thomas and Laura Parker Bowles are virtually unknown to the general public. In the shadow of their mother, the son and daughter of Camilla Parker Bowles and Andrew Parker Bowles live a life far removed from royal family protocol. Thomas Henry Charles Parker Bowles was born on December 18, 1974. In addition to his middle name, the latter has a special connection with Prince Charles, who is his godfather. Tom Parker Bowles, 47, is a renowned food critic and writer from across the Channel. The Queen’s eldest son has already written seven cookbooks. He has also collaborated with prestigious media such as “Tatler”, “Esquire” or “Harper’s Bazaar” and has participated in culinary television programs such as “Masterchef”. A career that would have been inspired by his mother, whose talent as a cook he praises.

But before this prolific professional life, Thomas Parker Bowles took some time to find his way. After leaving the university, the young man became a press officer in the film industry. But in his past there are other episodes that have made him talk. In 1999 the British tabloids had given the news that the young man would have consumed cocaine during the Cannes Film Festival in which he was participating. Rebuked by his mother and stepfather, he would then radically change his life and path for what we know him today.

Laura Parker Bowles instead she was born in 1978. After studying at Oxford Brookes University, she was hired as an exhibition curator, then as director of the Space art gallery in London. In 2005, she co-founded her own art gallery, Eleven, located in London’s Belgravia. A year later she married Harry Lopes, a former model turned lawyer. Prince William and Kate Middleton as well as Prince Harry were in attendance for her big day. Like her mother a year before her, she chose to wear an Anna Valentine dress. On 16 January 2008 the young woman became mother of the first of little Eliza and in 2009 the family expanded with the birth of twins Gus and Louis.
