Rumours are gaining traction that Tom Parker Bowles, the son of Queen Camilla, might step into the spotlight as a contestant on the next season of Strictly Come Dancing. The popular BBC dance show has long been a favourite of Camilla’s, and insiders believe the royal family could be quietly cheering him on.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold shared his thoughts on the speculation, suggesting both King Charles and Queen Camilla would support Tom if he joined the show. “Tom Parker Bowles isn’t a working royal, but he’s a well-liked personality,” Harrold said. “He’s charming, funny, and I think he would do very well on Strictly.”

Harrold also hinted that Camilla herself might enjoy the idea. “If his mother knew there was a possibility, she’d back him all the way. Even the King would be for it.” He even joked that perhaps one day the queen might take a turn on the dancefloor herself.
