No family (not even mine) craves drama more than the royals—and if Prince William and Prince Harry's endless feud wasn't enough, Wills also has issues with his stepbrother. Turns out William simply isn't here for Queen Camilla's son Tom Parker-Bowles—to the point where he's considering skipping Christmas in Sandringham if Tom is invited.
This was reported by the Daily Beast back in October, but for what it's worth Tom says he's never even had Christmas with the royals to begin with.
“We are married in, we are not the royal family–I’ve never for one second said that,” Tom told People last month. “I find everyone incredibly nice and friendly and we’ve know them all for a long time. It does seem natural. That’s not to say myself and the children spend running around palaces. I have my own job and the children have school. I haven’t been to Christmas yet for various reasons.”
TBD on what Tom's plans are this year, but the Daily Beast reported that Prince William and Kate Middleton would be “especially” poised to skip Christmas if Camilla invited her son. A source also told the outlet that “It is best to avoid mentioning Tom around William” and that Wills is nervous about Tom’s “rather louche lifestyle as a Mayfair bon vivant.”
Honestly having a "mayfair bon vivant" hanging around at Christmas sounds fun, but guess that's not William's vibe.
