Queen Camilla’s son Thomas Parker Bowles has dismissed rumours about his mother’s health as she continues to recover from pneumonia.

The 49-year-old food writer and restaurant critic shared an update on the 77-year-old royal’s condition during a recent appearance on “The Go To Food Podcast.”

“The most pressing thing is how is your mom? Because the weather is a little bit nasty. Is she going to be in full recovery mode this silly season?” host Freddy Clode asked at the beginning of Sunday’s episode.

“I think so, I think, yeah, when these things go around – these bugs – and there’s no conspiracy theories or anything big,” Parker Bowles replied.

He shared that Camilla fell ill after accompanying her husband King Charles on a royal tour of Australia and Samoa in October.

“She went sightseeing and came across some horrible insect. And then, before she got better, [she] overworked herself like she usually does,” Parker Bowles said.

“But anyway, touch wood, it’s all going to be fine,” he added, using the British version of the American phrase “knock on wood.”

“Will she be able to enjoy Christmas?” Clode asked.

“She’s tough,” Parker Bowles replied.

Parker Bowles is the son of Camilla and her ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles, 84. The former couple also have a daughter together, Laura Lopes, 46.

In early November, Buckingham Palace announced in a statement that Camilla had been diagnosed with a chest infection and would not be attending events during the UK’s annual Remembrance Weekend.

“Following medical guidance to ensure a full recovery from a seasonal chest infection and to protect others from any potential risks, Her Majesty The Queen will not be attending this weekend’s Tribute Event,” the statement said, according to People.

On December 3, Camilla spoke about her health at a reception to mark the 50th anniversary of Women’s Aid, a charity that works to end domestic violence against women and children.

“I’m still a bit tired,” she told attendees, according to the Daily Mail. “It’s catching up a bit.”
