Anne was inquired about her connection with the former husband of Queen Camilla.

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.

Andrew Parker Bowles was wed to Camilla from 1973 until their separation in 1995.

During an interview with the i paper, she was questioned regarding the speculated romance, and the 80-year-old replied curtly, "That's none of your business." This isn't the first occasion Anne has faced inquiries about her romantic life; she had previously acknowledged her relationship with Andrew, though she did so with the same straightforward attitude.

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 experienced two previous marriages. Her first husband was journalist Charles Wilson, with whom she was married from 1968 to 1973. She then married another journalist, John Penrose, in 1980. However, on 30 September 2007, they publicly declared their intention to divorce, attributing their separation to irreconcilable differences. From her first marriage, Anne has a daughter named Emma.

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.

During an appearance on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio, Tom shared that his mother remains the same individual she was prior to becoming Queen, although her schedule is now significantly more demanding. "I believe her role has evolved considerably. Her responsibilities have increased tremendously. While most people her age are winding down, she's working harder than ever," he elaborated.

"She's a hard worker. She truly is. She was an amazing mother. Whenever there were tasks to tackle, she'd encourage, 'Just get it done, take action, don't dwell on it, and don’t complain,'" he remembered.
