Queen Camilla's son admitted to "hating" a popular fast food chain during a recent podcast appearance.
Tom Parker-Bowles offered a rare glimpse into family life with his mother, Queen Camilla, during an appearance on the food podcast Table Manners with Jessie & Lennie Ware.
During the podcast, Parker-Bowles shared that his ideal "last supper" would include either his mother's roast chicken or his favourite McDonald's order.
"The cheeseburger is about as perfect a creation as you could ever have anywhere on Earth," he enthused.

He expressed strong opinions about fast food chains, stating: "I hate Burger King. I have no time for Burger King."
The critic revealed his preference for lunch over dinner, describing long lunches as "one of the great pleasures of life."
This candid interview follows his December comments about the royal couple's health challenges, where he described them as having gone through "a hell of a two years."
The 49-year-old food critic spoke candidly about growing up with Camilla, revealing details about family mealtimes and his mother's cooking style.

Describing his mother's approach to cooking, Parker-Bowles revealed Camilla wasn't one to follow recipes.
"She was a good cook, but she wasn't a recipe follower," he told the podcast hosts.
He shared her straightforward method for preparing chicken: "Get a chicken, put a lemon up his a***, you know, put butter all over it, put it in the oven. That's dinner!"
The food critic admitted that his most memorable childhood dish was his mother's roast chicken with a baked potato.

Parker-Bowles revealed that dining out was a rarity during his childhood in rural Wiltshire. "Growing up in Wiltshire in the 70s and 80s, you did not go out to eat," he confessed.
His first restaurant experiences came on trips to London with his grandmother, who took him to "nice Italian restaurants." In the countryside, options were limited to "Wimpy in Swindon."
Fish and chips were the family's go-to takeaway option, which his mother would allow alongside renting videos.
These simple pleasures were cherished moments for the young Parker Bowles, who recalled: "And then you get fish and chips and a video, and it's just like, this is the life...and a coke!"
