Queen Camilla recently made headlines when she had to cancel events due to a chest infection. Online chatter sparked over her alleged heavy drinking and smoking habits. But her son, Tom Parker Bowles, cleared the air with a brief statement. When asked about his mom's supposed reputation for gin drinking and smoking, Tom simply said, "She's never touched a glass of gin, nor smoked. "

Tom's comments came just before Buckingham Palace announced Camilla's health issue. The palace stated she had a chest infection and needed a short rest, with nothing serious reported.

Camilla, now 77, has been under scrutiny for her health habits. Previous reports claimed she was a heavy smoker, but these were later dismissed. Insiders say she now follows a healthier lifestyle, enjoying local produce with her husband, King Charles. Tom, a food critic, shared memories of their childhood meals, which were mainly local, seasonal, and organic. He recalled, "We grew up eating locally and seasonally, way before it became popular. "

During a visit to a school in Slough, Camilla shared her love for fresh garden peas. She told students, "If you eat them straight from the pod, they're delicious and sweet. " She often takes her grandchildren to the garden to enjoy peas together.

To maintain her busy schedule, experts advise Camilla to focus on her immune system, which weakens with age. She should ensure proper nutrition, including zinc and vitamin D. Recently, Camilla and King Charles embarked on a tour of Australia and Samoa, their first since Charles' cancer diagnosis.
