Andrew Parker-Bowles, the ex-husband of Queen Camilla, seems to have found love again with a well-known face in the UK, as recent reports suggest.
The 84-year-old former Royal Horse Guards officer is reportedly dating 79-year-old TV host and actress Anne Robinson, 14 years after the death of his second wife, Rosemary Dickinson, in 2010.
Parker-Bowles is widely recognized for his first marriage to Camilla, now Queen Camilla, who is married to King Charles. Andrew and Camilla were married for 22 years before divorcing in 1995. Camilla then married Charles in 2005, while Andrew married Rosemary Dickinson in 1996.
Throughout his marriage to Camilla, Andrew was rumored to have had several extramarital affairs, including with some of Camilla’s friends. Since the passing of his second wife, Andrew’s romantic life has remained mostly private until now. In 2023, rumors began circulating that he was dating Anne Robinson, which Robinson has now confirmed.
In a direct interview, Anne Robinson addressed the rumors of her romance with Andrew Parker-Bowles. When asked if she was dating Camilla’s former husband, she replied, “Yes. Full stop. Mind your own business,” showcasing her characteristic bluntness.
Sources indicate that Andrew and Anne both reside in the Cotswolds, England. They reportedly met last year at a lunch hosted by mutual friends and have managed to keep their relationship mostly out of the public eye.
Anne, who has been single since her 2007 divorce from John Penrose, commented on her relationship with Andrew, saying, “I’d say that like everything else I’ve done, it’s always worth the risk. I’m a great believer in surprising yourself by taking risks. Personally and professionally.”
Online reactions have been largely supportive, with many expressing happiness for the couple. One commenter on Facebook wrote, “84 and 79, we need more love stories like this.” Another added, “She certainly looks better than his ex-wife and hopefully has a better personality,” while a third humorously noted, “He clearly has a type lol.”
Meanwhile, Camilla and King Charles recently traveled to Aberdeen, Scotland, to celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary. Photos from last month showed the couple arriving at Aberdeen Airport from London.
Queen Camilla has been a strong support for Charles, especially following his recent cancer diagnosis. Her popularity with the British public has increased significantly since her initial rocky start in the royal family following Princess Diana’s death.
