Queen Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, has confessed that he doesn't envy his royal stepbrothers, Prince William and Prince Harry, after experiencing his own troubling encounters with the paparazzi.
Recalling a particularly distressing incident at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 when he was accused of drug-taking, the now 49 year old food critic remembers being chastised by King Charles amid the media frenzy.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Parker Bowles described the relentless pursuit by photographers: "It was the very height of the tabloid era.
I remember being chased at 100mph by paps trying to get a shot. My mother being screamed at to try to get a reaction. Pushing, jostling.
