London, en.SERU.co.id — The topic of Queen Camilla’s habit of using harsh language has been in the public spotlight again in recent days, although the story originated from an interview conducted on June 3, 2026. According to her son, Queen Camilla had to “revise” the way she spoke since marrying King Charles in 2005 and became stricter after Charles ascended the throne in 2022.
Tom Parker Bowles, her son and a food writer, recalled one of Camilla’s famous roast chicken recipes as an example. These days she carefully says to “place a lemon down its neck cavity.” But in the old days? She was blunter.
“You get the best chicken you can afford. Yep. ‘Shove a…’ ‘Place, please, place a lemon. Place a lemon actually down its neck cavity.’”
He added with a laugh that she used to tell people to shove the lemon “where the sun don’t shine” — before quickly correcting himself that it actually goes in the neck.
Chris Evans joked, “She’s changed!” and Tom replied, “I know.”

The story first made headlines right after the June 3 interview, with outlets like Hello Magazine, InStyle, Daily Express, and Yahoo News picking it up quickly. Now, in mid-June, it’s enjoying a second round of attention — the kind of slow-burn viral moment that often happens with fun, human royal stories when there’s no bigger drama taking over the headlines.
It paints Camilla as the same down-to-earth person, she’s always been, just learning to adapt her everyday speech to royal life. So far, Buckingham Palace hasn’t commented, and most people seem to see it as a harmless, relatable anecdote rather than anything serious.
Tom has always been refreshingly honest when talking about his family, and this interview was no exception.
