It’s hard to know which way to turn, frankly. In the great room of Spice of Life—a newly constructed 35,000 sq ft super villa, sandwiched between two verdantly craggy peaks of the Pitons mountain range in Saint Lucia—distraction is everywhere.

One presumes the late Queen’s permission was sought as to whether it was okay for Tom Parker Bowles to write a recipe book themed around the history of royal food. Though the man himself—author, cook, son, father, brother, stepbrother, godson, general family man, now at the heart of the family—can’t entirely recall how the process worked, but, yes, he definitely did ask, he says with a near-imperceptible eye roll.

It’s late morning at the Langham hotel in London, a croissant’s throw from the BBC’s famed glass frontage on Portland Place.
