QuoteTom Parker Bowles, who has starred in BBC2's MasterChef: The Professionals, has moved out of the home he shared with Sara Buys, 44, and their two children and is now renting a property two miles away in west London.
Friends said the couple's 12-year marriage had been having problems for 'some time'.
A source told the Sun: 'They are being very clear the separation is not final and they are not getting divorced.
'There is no one else involved.
'The concern of both Tom and Sara is for the stability and happiness of their children.'
He looks like his mother.
I cant' see any resemblance to Camilla, he looks a great deal more like ANdrew PB.....
I do hope they settle their differences. I see they aren't rushing into things, which is good. A separation, but not a divorce (yet).

I agree that he looks more like Andrew
@amabel. I also hope that this couple's separation will not be permanent but an opportunity for the couple to work out their differences.

Prince Charles and Camilla are left 'deeply saddened' after her son Tom Parker Bowles' marriage collapses
Prince Charles and Camilla left saddened at Tom's split | Daily Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5264493/Prince-Charles-Camilla-left-saddened-Toms-split.html)
Interesting, no statement from his father Mr Parker Bowles.
Why should he say antying? its not a public matter, it is a private matter..
Charles & Camilla didn't feel it was a private matter since they spoke of their sadness.
Hopefully we won't be getting a blow by blow account in the press. The expression of sadness is standard royal protocol and nothing unusual. I hope Tom and Sarah work things out. At least they have started off well by not engaging in a public slinging match.
Mr. Parker Bowles has always been discreet. That is how they do things in the upper classes. You don't make a fuss, certainly not in the press.
Unlikely. they're not public figures, and I dotn think there is any great interest if their marriage has broken down. And I doubt if they are going to engage in any public slanging.. I hope they'll just quietly split up or reconcile.
That DM article was full of snides and backhanded compliments. They always do that, go for the lowest common denominator. And the comments are no better. That paper seems to attract quite a bitter bunch but someone told me that many of the negative posters are paid Russian trolls. Don't how true it is, but DM has always been notorious for the harshest coverage possible on any given issue...an house prices.

What does royal protocol have to do with this? last time I checked Tom and Sarah are Parker Bowles commoners not royal.
I am challenging the notion that "expressing sadness" effectively turns this into a public circus. It does not. DM and its obsessed cohorts trying to elevate a private matter into some kind of crisis. The article is low quality speculation. I wish Tom and Sarah the best. They have done nothing to deserve this intrusion by the DM nasties.

I would not generalize how the upper class think or act. There are some decent people among them.
Infidelity is a big deal.
Decency has absolutely nothing to do with fidelity in my view. Some of the most indecent, uncharitable, malignant and judgmental people I have ever encountered are great champions of "fidelity". I would rather have a kind, considerate, well-mannered person who has issues with infidelity than a bitter twisted person that is completely faithful.
ABP and Tryon handled their affairs in the ways that suited them. They are not puritans and certainly not some bitter ex husbands going on about their sad lot. It is always people who have nothing to do with their affairs that seem so concerned about them.

Then it should be all right his father Andrew if he wanted to express his sadness over the situation. Royal protocol doesn't apply to Tom and Sara they are commoners going through an experience most commoners go through and their parents don't have to express to all and sundry their sadness this marriage doesn't affect the country. I just hope this is a temporary situation and they can work out their differences.
Tom is the son of DOC and stepson of POW. Besides POW is his godfather. They are perfectly entitled to express any feelings they wish because they are close family. APB can also decide to keep quiet if he likes. I dare say all three care far more about Tom and Sarah than any tabloid hack looking for a story. This is just DM nasties trying to make a private issue into a national crisis.

Really, if we can agree with you or you think this, really, TPB and his wife are private citizens.
No press statement via a spokesman needed to be released.
You know the Brit gossip press will dig dig dig. :no: A third party? Like mother, like son.
They should have just separated like regular folks do. :teehee:
Seriously, it is sad. :thumbsdown: It is not funny. :( Keep it private and out of the press.
So DD of Cornwall issued an official statement, well, the father, APB could have too. :teehee:
If ABP does not , GOOOOOD, because really, no press statement needed to be released by or folks....the typical... usual.. standard bullshyte..
It is with great sadness that TBP and his. Wife....blah blah blah.haveparted in their marriage at this time. They and their families request privacy during this difficult time blalblah...
While we are at...
M and C Midds needed not to issue a statement about Piptsy then upcoming wedding.
When she gets pregnant, there will, no doubt , be an official statement from the Midds ....gives bitterness.. again.
Who are these people: TPB and wife, Pippop M? Who are they? No one, They ate private citizens. Stay there, for goodness sake.
Lol,
They are not HRH, ????
No, I do not have a black heart. Why separate ? There are young children. Years together married.
Separating, not divorcing so there can be time to get it right. :nod:Time for each of the two to fix themselves and get help and restart their marriage for their family meaning, young children.

But Tom nor Popipa are not HRH...
Truly, to keep the nasty press from diggingdigging, snapping every track of these two people, I think it would have been refreshing for HRH, D-D of Cornwal not to say anything. Only my op.
Maybe the media would have not found out about the couple.
No, it is not because I do not CamillaThe Roweiller and Charles, her charge., lol.
Maybe
Truly, it is sad thing when people spilt up and there are young children involved.
It would be good if the press can leave TPB and his wife alone.

Ehhh.

Camilla Parker Bowles's Children - Who Are Tom Parker Bowles & Laura Lopes? (http://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a17008420/camilla-parker-bowles-children/?src=socialflowTW)
QuoteThere's no denying that the institution of the British monarchy is steeped in tradition. But Prince Charles's blended branch of "the firm," as it the royal family is sometimes called, is decidedly modern. When the Prince of Wales married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, he became the stepfather to two children from her first marriage to Andrew Parker-Bowles, and she became stepmother to Harry and William.
In advance of Prince Harry's nuptials to Meghan Markle, here's everything you need to know about his step-siblings, Lisa Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles.
Laura Lopes Gallery Owner.

Meet Laura Lopes: Princes William and Harry's Step-Sister You've Never Heard Of | Marie Claire Australia (https://www.marieclaire.com.au/prince-william-and-harry-s-step-sister-laura-lopes)
QuoteLopes is a mother of three (her eldest daughter Eliza was one of Kate Middleton?s bridesmaids) and is a co-founder and director of an art gallery in London, reports Metro.
She is also mum to twin boys, Gus and Louis, who she welcomed in 2009.
From Waleses war' children I think Laura is the only one who appears turned out okay ... her brother Tom, William and Harry are 3 buffons IMO
Sad news for Tom Parker Bowles as his girlfriend of two years has died of cancer.
EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Prince Charles's stepson left devastated after the death of his girlfriend | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9408485/EDEN-CONFIDENTIAL-Prince-Charless-stepson-left-devastated-death-girlfriend.html)
QuotePrince Charles?s stepson, Tom Parker Bowles, has been left devastated after the death of his girlfriend at the age of 42.
Camilla?s food writer son Tom had been going out with former journalist Alice Procope for almost two years.
?Tom had been blissfully happy with Alice and is devastated that life can be so cruel,? says a friend of Tom, who separated from his fashion writer wife, Sara Buys, in 2018.
Procope was known as Alice Horton while working as a diary reporter.
Tragic news. For Tom but most especially her three young children she has left behind :(
@TudorQueen :welcome: to RIF!
This is very sad news, to think she might have been saved if the cancer was spotted earlier. I'm sorry for Tom Parker Bowles.

Andrew Parker-Bowles and Queen Consort Camilla's nephew Lucas shares that he was bullied during his school years in the 1990's due to his surname. Classmates told him that he'd "killed" Diana, Princess of Wales by association. :blink:
Queen Consort's nephew claims he received death threats over Camilla | Daily Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-11361249/Queen-Consorts-nephew-claims-received-death-threats-Camilla.html)
QuoteThe Queen Consort's nephew Luke Parker Bowles has claimed he received death threats at boarding school as his family desperately tried to avoid 'the chaos' of Camilla's relationship with King Charles.
Speaking to The New York Times, the film and television producer, 44, who grew up in the UK and now lives in New Jersey, said his distinctive surname made him a target for bullies as a teenager.
Reflecting on his education, Luke explained: 'When I was at boarding school, I remember getting bullied and even death threats because people put together that Diana had died because of Camilla, and therefore I had killed Diana by association.'
The father-of-three - who lives in Montclair, New Jersey, with wife Daniela, 47 - said both his parents and grandparents encouraged him to get involved at charity work at school to distance himself from 'the chaos' of his aunt's relationship.
Luke is the son of Simon Parker Bowles, 80, whose older brother Andrew, 82, was married to the Queen Consort, 75, from 1973 to 1995.

Queen Camilla?s son is right on his mother
Neil Sean is friends with Tom Parker Bowles, he showed a picture of both posing together. In my opinion, he may possibly be a source.
I haven't posted 'much' of NS claims, but one that has me intrigued* (for one BP made an official statement that M will stay home with the Prince and Princess, so of course the media follows with that statement) is that the BRF (Charles) has mantained an 'open' invitation to Meghan in ref. to the Coronation, in case she changes her mind. She doesn't need to leave the children behind, hence my probably miscontrued comment of the 'rich travel' in tow with the family or not, whilst people who don't have the means, would very likely stay put. But yeah, that comment has to do with NS and TPB. Neil said that Harry allegedly asked M permission for him to bring the children with him, she said no. Neil said she doesn't want to come to the UK, because the 'polls', let's put it that way, low numbers rather than the harsh way I had expressed a few days ago, which basically is being said in both nations.
I understand she would like to celebrate her son's 4th birthday with all his pre-school friends, or at least that is what I hope, rather than the media outlets in the USA originated by the NY Post, followed by People Mag, US Magazine, US Weekly and copied by the British media of a Celebrity friends of Meghan birthday party for son Prince Archie. Her adult friends: Ellen, Oprah, Serena.
So in other words, as I?ve often stated here, unlinked ?sources? mean just gossip, and Neil Sean?s uncredited and unsourced allegations on his YouTube outlet, is just that. Gossip, and Sean is a gossip spreader.
In my opinion, all reporters that report about royalty get it right 50/50 or so. Neil makes money via youtube (re: if he gets in 1 youtube 300,000K views, that's about USD30K a month) and Fox News (USA), which he says the same thing in the Fox News segment, the thing is youtube is worldwide, Fox news is USA or those that have international paid subscripiton to Fox streaming.
It is intriguing to me, usually the rich do travel with their family unit. Harry will be doing a marathon LAX/UK/LAX in 12 hours to participate in both Coronation and birthday party.

Yes, Camilla was in love, in love with another woman?s husband, a man she?d been having an affair with for years, in spite of her own wedding vows. And her regular little talks with chief Editor of the Sun newspaper from the early years of the Charles/Diana marriage were just to talk about the weather, not white ant the marriage! No of course not!
And Of course Tom PB is going to stick up for his mother. However neither his mother, his father, nor his stepfather are exactly models of marital fidelity and the world knows it. And Tom and his wife are separated and presumably will be divorced.

Queen Camilla?s son is right on his mother
I never got the sense from Camilla that she was after Charles so she could one day become queen. Having read his biography by Sally Bedell Smith, I got the sense that Charles didn?t really wanna marry anyone, while Camilla was very much in love with Andrew Parker Bowles.
I think she and Charles got on really well because their personalities match. He likes being seen and heard and she is happy to let him take center stage. Another key element: she?s not needy. Diana and Charles, on the other hand weren?t well-matched at all. He should have seen that, but I think he was physically enchanted with her when they first married and she really wanted to be a princess and have a fairy tale life.
Things devolved after that when it became clear that they were both interested in being the center of attention, something that rubbed Charles the wrong way, and Diana?s childhood trauma of being abandoned made her a needy individual that latched onto Charles and needed his attention at all times. I?m not here to defend infidelity, but I also won?t pretend to know the ins and outs of relationships that I?m not a part of. What it boils down to in my opinion is two mismatched personalities as opposed to two people who match each other well.
In regards to Harry?s book, it?s still the unproven statement that Camilla threw him under the bus for better coverage. Of course Camilla had a spin doctor. All members of the family do, but her reputation really needed more spin than most.
But Harry didn?t just say that, he said he was thrown under the bus so she could look good. That?s what I need confirmation of. Because the way I see it, he?s the one that got himself into those dodgy situations and the Palace PR did their best to spin it just like they do everything else. And it worked! For those years, anyway.
The blame game again, I wonder if he will ever take responsibility of his actions of past and present, although I really doubt he ever will.
Google Prince Harry 2005 and per year, click images , see the pictures, drunk alone, drunk with Chelsy, drunk with pals, Vegas, etc. There is no protection or spin doctor if all of these images are in a public setting.

Rosemary later died of cancer. They were all extremely good friends though. Camilla, now Queen, remained friends with her ex husband Andrew PB, as well as the Pittmans.
