Exactly a month ago, a rumor spread in England according to which Queen Camilla – 77 years old – would soon arrive on social networks, in particular on TikTok, to launch into literary influence. However, according to what her son has revealed in recent hours, the wife of King Charles III does not even have a smartphone. “She has an old Nokia,” Tom Parker Bowles, 49, told the magazine. Woman & Home.
According to the Daily Mail, the phone in question is the Nokia 6310, also known by the nickname “brick phone”, released in 2002 and become iconic for its robustness and great autonomy. “In the family, we have a group discussion, there is my sister, my children, my cousins. But not my mother, because she doesn’t have a smartphone. I think it’s for security reasons. »
Communication is therefore quite complicated. Especially when she finds herself, like last week, on the other side of the world (she is in the Samoa Islands, on a royal tour of Oceania): “She has always worked hard, and even more so at the moment. When I try to call her and she doesn’t answer, I turn on the TV to find out where she is,” concluded the eldest son of Camilla and Andrew Parker Bowles, who also had Laura.
During an interview given on the occasion of her 75th birthday in 2022, the Queen Consort told the Mail that she was concerned that so many children’s use of social media was described as a double-edged sword. On the same occasion, she admitted that she often scolded her grandchildren for using smartphones at the table: “In my time we all sat down to eat, today they are all on their cell phones. »
All the more reason to keep an old-fashioned cell phone.
