Queen Camilla’s son, Tom Parker-Bowles has unveiled the launch of his brand-new royal book – one with a surprising twist.
The 49-year-old has revealed that his new book – ‘Cooking and The Crown’ – will be released on September 26, 2024.
According to an article posted by The Bookseller, the book will feature 100 recipes – including everything from breakfast to state banquet dinner ideas.
Mr Parker-Bowles, who is also the monarch’s godson, has been a food writer for over 20 years and is already the author of eight food-related books.
According to The Bookseller, Tom has said of the forthcoming release: “As a food history geek, I cannot tell you how exciting it has been to write this book.
“To read original recipes in the royal archive in Windsor, and disappear into the lives and reigns (and eating habits) of sovereigns from Queen Victoria onwards.
“But this is not about roast cygnet, ortolans and snipe stuffed with foie gras – rather a proper cookbook, filled with recipes that I’ve loved cooking. And hope that you will too.”
Fans have even expressed their excitement over the pending release under a reveal post on Tom’s X account.
Tom tweeted: “Well, they say write about what you (sort of) know … my new book, Cooking and the Crown. Royal Recipes From Queen Victoria to Charles III.”
One fan wrote: “That’s so exciting. Can’t wait for this. Congratulations!”
Another wrote: “Brilliantly. Congratulations Tom.”
A third commented: “That’s a great idea for a book, I look forward to its publication. Best of luck!”
As well as being an author, Tom also serves as a restaurant critic at the Mail on Sunday and food editor at Esquire.
His work has also led to multiple appearances on hit BBC food show MasterChef.
In December 2023, Tom joined the royals to celebrate Christmas for the first time at Sandringham.
He was joined by his two teenage children, Lola, 16, and Freddy, 14.
