Tom Parker Bowles’ Foul-Mouthed Rant Draws Criticism at Public Event
Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla’s son, has come under fire for his controversial remarks during the Santa Rita Cigar Smoker of the Year Dinner and Awards, where he served as host.
The 49-year-old sparked outrage by taking aim at "virtue-signallers" in a blunt and explicit tirade that left many attendees and royal followers unimpressed.
Speaking at Boisdale, Parker Bowles praised the pleasures of cigars and wine while condemning what he called "moaners" and "eternally bloody offended."
“We are here at Boisdale celebrating not just the joys of cigars and wine, but the basic fundamental pleasure—of being together and making merry in the most civilised and open-minded surroundings,” he said. He then added, “As for the ‘me, me, me’ moaners, the whiners, the bleaters, and the empty virtue-signallers and the eternally bloody offended—f*** off!”
The comments triggered backlash among royal fans, many of whom admire Queen Camilla for her poise and grace. Critics voiced their disappointment, with some feeling his remarks clashed with the values his mother embodies.
The event also saw British broadcaster Piers Morgan named Cigar Smoker of the Year 2024, adding to the evening’s controversial highlights.
Tom Parker Bowles, known for his culinary expertise and authorship, previously praised King Charles in his book Cooking and the Crown, describing the monarch as “the kindest, most knowledgeable, lovely man.” However, his recent remarks have overshadowed those sentiments, drawing sharp criticism across social media.
As the incident goes viral, it remains to be seen whether Parker Bowles will address the backlash or if the royal family will comment on the controversy.
