Prince Charles Speculation Claiming He’s Camilla’s Kids’ Dad Is ‘Intrusive,’ ‘Prurient,’ Netizens Say

Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles had an affair while the heir to the throne was still married to Princess Diana. At that time, Camilla was also married to Andrew Parker Bowles.

On the online forum site Quora, the Prince of Wales was rumored to have been the father of Camilla’s two children, Laura and Tom Parker Bowles. But it is important to note that this isn’t the case.

Laura and Tom are the children of Camilla and her ex-husband Andrew. As such, royal fans couldn’t help but feel upset with the question.

Chris Hawkes, an English advocate, called the question intrusive and prurient. “No. Given that she had been married to Andrew Parker Bowles for a year before the birth, don’t you think someone might have noticed? With that out of the way, are there any more groundless aspersions you wish to cast?” he said.

Stephen Forest, a graduate from Columbia University, said that while in theory, it is possible for Prince Charles to be the father of Camilla’s children, this isn’t the case.

“While in theory, it's possible, it would be almost impossible for this to have been kept a secret, so is extremely unlikely. I also submit that Tom Parker Bowles is quite a good-looking guy, and therefore has no features of Prince Charles, and has a passing resemblance to his father Andrew,” he said.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles is the biological father of Prince William and Prince Harry. But there are rumors that he’s not a good father to his sons.

On the online forum site Quora, royal fan Melissa Marshall said that the heir to the throne is not a good father because he broke up his family by committing adultery. But Marshall said that to be fair, Princess Diana also committed adultery.

But Sam Adams, a software engineer consultant, said that Prince Charles definitely qualifies for a bad husband but there’s little evidence that he was a bad father.
