King's stepson reveals Charles III and Queen Camilla's 'obsession': they've been competing in this hobby for decades
King's stepson reveals Charles III and Queen Camilla's 'obsession'
The son of Queen Camilla of Great Britain and the stepson of King Charles III, writer Tom Parker Bowles has revealed the monarchs' "obsession" in which they have been competing for decades. According to him, Their Majesties are sincere fans of mushroom picking and constantly compete over their "hauls".
According to the Daily Mail, the author revealed the secret hobby of Buckingham Palace representatives in his book Cooking and the Crown: Royal Recipes from Queen Victoria to King Charles III. He noted that monarchs almost never miss an opportunity to take a walk in the woods.
According to Tom, the direct heir to Elizabeth II's throne's love of mushroom picking became noticeable back in 2011. Back then, the monarch decided to get alone with nature, leaving his relatives hunting grouse. He took a wicker basket and a stick with him and walked many kilometers near Loch Muick to collect chanterelles. The king's stepson noted that at that moment many people were passing by Charles III, but he was so engrossed in his favorite pastime that he did not notice any of them.
Camilla's son said that he and his mother could spend hours wandering through the forest looking for mushrooms. In 2007, the monarch went to the forest accompanied by security guards.
Representatives of the British royal family do not miss the opportunity to engage in their favorite hobby during official visits either. During his tour of the Far East, Charles III visited a forest in Japan, accompanied by Princess Takamado and writer C.W. Nicol.
In addition, his favorite pastime helped the monarch survive the death of Queen Elizabeth II. He spent many hours at his sick mother's bedside, and then decided to be alone, picking mushrooms near the neighboring Birkhall estate. When His Highness returned home, he was told the terrible news: the Queen had passed away.
