Queen Camilla gives royal approval to Anne Robinson dating ex Andrew Parker Bowels – and jokes about it with Charles
QUEEN Camilla has given her royal approval to telly’s Queen of Mean dating her ex-husband — and has even had a laugh about it with the King.
Former Weakest Link star Anne Robinson, 79, and retired Army brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles, 83 have been secretly hooking up for a year.
And Camilla — who divorced Andrew in 1995 and married Charles ten years later — is said to approve of the relationship.
The Queen, 76, and King, 75, even joked over dinner about the four of them going out together on a “double date”.
The Sun revealed yesterday how the tough telly host — who dispatched quiz contestants with the words: “You are The Weakest Link, goodbye” — had been getting on “splendidly” with Andrew.
The pair were said to be getting on “splendidly” after being put together by mutual friends.

“Camilla is very supportive about the whole thing, and found out a few weeks ago. They’ve been joking about going on a double date.
