Anne Robinson is known for her sharp no-nonsense remarks – and she had a very blunt response when asked recently whether she is in a relationship with Queen Camilla’s ex-husband.
Prior to her marriage to King Charles, Camilla was married to Andrew Parker Bowles from 1973 until 1995. Together they share two children, Tom Parker Bowles, 50, and Laura Lopes, 47.
Andrew, 85, went on to tie the knot with his long-time companion Rosemary Alice Pitman in 1996, a year after his divorce from Camilla, and together they attended the wedding of Charles and Camilla in 2005. Very sadly, Rosemary died from complications due to cancer in 2010. Then, at the end of 2023, it was reported that he was in a relationship with Weakest Link star Anne.

She was asked about their rumoured romance in an interview with the i paper, and the 80-year-old had a brusque response: “None of your business.” It’s not the first time Anne has been asked about her love life – and she did previously confirm she is dating Andrew, albeit in the same no-nonsense way.
In an interview with Saga magazine in May 2024, the TV star was asked if the rumours are true. “Yes. Full Stop. Mind your own business,” she said.
Anne has been married twice before. She was wed to journalist Charles Wilson from 1968 until 1973 before tying the knot with fellow journalist John Penrose in 1980. On 30 September 2007, the couple announced that they were divorcing, citing irreconcilable differences. She is a mother to one daughter, Emma, from her first marriage.
Queen Camilla is known to enjoy a still firm friendship with Andrew following their divorce in 1995, after 21 years of marriage. The exes are said to get on famously, with Camilla even sending him an invite to King Charles’ Coronation.

“They are joined at the hip,” one friend told the Daily Mail. “He arranges so much for her. They have lunch together the whole time. He’s right in there. He was always, and still is, Camilla’s co-conspirator.”
It comes after Camilla and Andrew’s son Tom revealed that his mother has undergone a significant “change” since becoming Queen.
Speaking on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio, Tom said his mum is still the same person she was before being crowned Queen, but has a much busier schedule nowadays. “I think her job description has perhaps changed. Her job has massively changed. Most people are retiring at her age and she’s going full tilt,” he explained.
“She’s a grafter. She is a grafter. She was a great mother. When you have to do stuff, she says, ‘Just get on with it, do it, don’t talk about it, don’t moan about it,'” he recalled.
