Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla Parker’s son recently revealed many secrets behind some of the most decadent royal recipes in his new cooking book: “Cooking With The Crown.” However, he revealed King Charles III and the Queen had a passionately shared hobby.
Tom Parker revealed mushrooms became “somewhat of an obsession” for the Monarchs of the United Kingdom. The pair enjoy mushroom foraging so much that it becomes a “deep competition about their hauls.”
Parker also told the Daily Beast that King Charles III relied on his long-time love of foraging and mushroom hunting after Queen Elizabeth passed away in 2022. There’s no doubt the two royals enjoy each other’s company in this unusual hobby.
“On the day his mother died, then-Prince Charles spent an hour at her bedside at Balmoral and then went to nearby Birkhall to gather mushrooms alone.”
