Parker Bowles’ Son Gets Married in England
Five months after his mother Camilla married Prince Charles, food writer Tom Parker Bowles wed fashion journalist Sara Buys Saturday in an English country church ablaze with flowers.
Charles and Camilla, now Duchess of Cornwall, and Princes William and Harry attended the ceremony at St. Nicholas’ Church in Rotherfield Greys, 40 miles west of London.
Parker Bowles, 31, who is also Charles’ godson, served as a witness at his mother’s wedding to Charles on April 9.
The groom’s father, Andrew Parker Bowles, whose marriage to Camilla ended in divorce in 1995, arrived with his new wife, Rosemary. They were among some 180 church guests.
Details about the reception were kept secret, but news leaked that about 400 guests were invited and the cake was a six-tiered affair covered in Swiss white chocolate.
The wedding food was expected to be untainted by pesticides; as food writer for the society magazine “Tatler,” the groom follows his stepfather in championing organic farmers.
Parker Bowles met Buys, a fashion writer for the fashion magazine Harpers & Queen, in 2001. Both attended Oxford University.
