Tom Parker-Bowles on his wilder days, the difficulties of sudden fame, and the joys of food

Tom Parker-Bowles on his wilder days, the difficulties of sudden fame, and the joys of food

Author: Kate Thornton July 4, 2025 Duration: 1:04:04

Today, we're joined by a writer, presenter, and author who has lived under the glare of public scrutiny since his mother began a relationship with our now-king – something he's handled with admirable humour and good grace. It's the charming Tom Parker-Bowles!


Tom joins us fresh off the release of his new cookbook 'Let's Eat' to tell us hilarious and heartfelt tales from the kitchen and beyond. He reminisces about the realities of growing up around brutal press intrusion, even if some of the headlines he'll admit were his own doing! Plus: the best bits from a life writing about food, the joys of family life and dispelling a few well-touted rumours!

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
