Tom Parker-Bowles is the oldest child of Camilla and her ex-husband, retired Army officer Andrew Parker-Bowles. The former couple raised Tom and his younger sister Laura at Bolehyde Manor, a 17th-century house in Allington, Wiltshire.
It is there Tom says children would "run past" haunted rooms, fearing the historic house was home to a spectre. The 49-year-old food writer however admits he never actually saw one of the ghosts. During an episode of Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast, Tom shared: "My mother says she woke up one night, in the middle of the night, and there was a presence sort of pinning her down in her bed.
This was many, many years ago, but she's made of pretty strong stuff so probably told the ghost where to go." He reminisces about certain areas in their old home being so spooked that even the family pet wouldn't dare step foot within them. The atmosphere in the house often felt chillingly "cold", irrespective of it being summer.
