In a shocking turn of events, King Charles III has apparently taken a firm stand against his stepson, Tom Parker Bowles, after a fiery clash with Princess Anne that rocked Buckingham Palace.
Sources close to the royals say the blow-up happened at a private get-together in Windsor Castle, where tensions boiled over between Parker Bowles and the Princess Royal. While the nitty-gritty of their spat remains hush-hush, insiders hint it had to do with royal protocol and family wrangling.
“Princess Anne’s known for being tough and true to the Crown,” a palace insider spilled. “When Tom said something she thought was out of line, she didn’t hold back in safeguarding the family’s honor. Things spiraled fast, and it was clear it had gotten out of hand.”
King Charles, who’s always been tight with his wife’s kids, was reportedly deeply troubled by the ruckus. After mulling it over and chatting with top advisors for days, the King made the tough call to bench Parker Bowles from all royal shindigs indefinitely.
