Queen Camilla’s son Thomas Parker Bowles has denied rumors about his mother’s health as she continues to recover from pneumonia.
The 49-year-old food writer and restaurant critic recently shared an update on the 77-year-old royal’s condition on “The Go To Food Podcast.”
“Most pressingly, how is your mom? Because she’s a little under the weather. Is she going to be in full recovery mode for Silly Season?” host Freddy Crowder asked at the beginning of the episode, which was uploaded on Sunday.
“I think so, I think, yeah, as these things happen — these mistakes — and there’s no great conspiracy theory or anything,” Parker Bowles responded.
