They've remained tight-lipped about their romance after rumours began to fly at the end of last year. But Anne Robinson has now confirmed she is dating Queen Camilla 's ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles - and some details of their meeting are rather unlikely.

Robinson has now told Saga magazine that this is the case, saying: 'Yes. Full stop. Mind your own business.'

The King today held his first investiture after being diagnosed with cancer , handing honours to luminaries such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and Dame Jilly Cooper. Charles hosted the ceremony at Windsor Castle after being given permission by doctors to undertake the largest indoor engagement so far since his diagnosis. It is the first investiture he has conducted for five months, with his last on December 19 coming a month before he was admitted to hospital for treatment on his prostate. Many of those invested are being thanked for helping organise his Coronation, with Archbishop Justin Welby and Dean of Westminster David Hoyle both being knighted. And Dame Jilly, 87, queen of the 'bonkbuster' novel, is being honoured for her services to literature and charity having recently published her 52nd book, 'Tackle!'. Charles and the Archbishop both beamed during the presentation, while the King also appeared to share a joke with Dame Jilly as she approached with a walking stick.

Today marks 13 years since Kate Middleton and Prince William, both 42, tied the knot in a fairytale ceremony at Westminster Abbey. And while many royal watchers were most excited to see what the now Princess of Wales would be wearing on her big day on April 29, 2011, others were distracted by the adorable bridesmaids and page boys. Among them were Master Tom Pettifer, son of Harry and William's childhood nanny, William Lowther-Pinkerton, Lady Louise Windsor , princess Margaret 's granddaughter Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, and Camilla's granddaughter Eliza Lopes. And famously, Grace Van Cutsem, then three, went viral after with her scowl when the newly weds shared their first public kiss on the balcony. Here, FEMAIL takes a look at where Kate's young bridal party are now...

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: This weekend Camilla will be offering support to one of her six Companions, Lady Sarah Keswick, whose husband Sir Chippendale 'Chips' Keswick died on Wednesday aged 84. No couple have mattered more to Camilla - and King Charles - down the decades than the Keswicks. Indeed, it was at Sarah's 50th birthday party, held at the Ritz in 1995, that the then Prince of Wales first appeared in public with Camilla, shortly after her divorce from Andrew Parker Bowles .

The Princess Royal has dominated the league table for Royal positions for many years, so it's no surprise that she's started this year at a blazing pace. The number matches the number. Nothing seems to ruffle her, from being President of the Save the Children Fund to being Admiral of the Sea Cadet Corps. Anne, joined by her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, visited Sri Lanka where she met the President among her many duties at the start of the year.

EXCLUSIVE: King Charles died last week as if contending with cancer were not a proper trial, as if one of his closest friends and confidants died at the age of 87. Now, he has been dealt another devastating blow - the death of supreme horseman and legendary hunting figure Ian Farquhar, a long-serving and irrepressible friend not only of the King but also of Queen Camilla. It's a shame that the King and Queen are expected to mourn all the more because, in stark contrast to the stunningly wealthy Rothschild, Farquhar lived on the King's Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire, where he rented a farmhouse for many years. It was there, I'm told, that he died on Wednesday morning, aged 78, bringing an end to a life that had been closely linked to the Royal Family's.

These two Sheilas ruthlessly cut their way into the ranks of well-bred society 'gels,' unfazed by the decorum and precedence that reigned in the London of their day. And then - the only way was up! Some may recall the delectable blonde Dale 'Kanga' Harper, who married royal courtier Lord Tryon but ended her days in shame. But who recalls the name of Sheila Chisholm, daughter of a wealthy sheep farmer, who caused a mighty king to wobble and give away a dukedom?

In the new iteration of Robert Hardman's new biography of King Charles, the amusing discovery is made exclusively by the Daily Mail. It focuses on Her Majesty's transition from long-term companion to royal bride and now, the throne. It's something that has left her family and friends incredulous. Annabel Elliot, who was left with Camilla in 2016, says it's near impossible to reproduce certain aspects of royal etiquette. Right: The King and Queen were present at the Sandringham Cathedral service on Christmas Day.

As the royal family's Christmas began in earnest, King Charles waved to well-wishers at Sandringham this morning. As they arrived at St. Magdalene Church, the monarch was seen striding forth with Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and Sir Timothy Laurence.

He has been one of those shadows who flit discreetly about the upper reaches of society with colleagues from high places for decades. Very popular destinations. Princess Anne's occasional escort since childhood, but for his Catholic faith, may have married him, and someone whose ex-wife, of course, is now the Queen. A man about whom male chums would tell tales of his amorous adventures and legendary sexual prowess. How gratifying is it then for Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles, who has always smuggish accounts of his bedroom conquests, to find that, 11 days before his 84th birthday, he is still the subject of such adoring gossip.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Andrew Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla's ex-husband, has broken silence to pay tribute to the 'proper man' who helped him in his darkest hour. He has resisted from speaking out about his family or any of his acquaintances in public. Brigadier Andrew Parker Bowles makes an exception today, following the death of the man who referred to as the "best business in the world." Parker Bowles, first husband and steadfast friend of Queen Camilla, recalls the worst hour of his life on July 20 1982, when, as Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry Regiment, four of his troops and seven horses were killed by an IRA bomb.

Andrew Parker Bowles, the former Weakest Link host, has been in a mystery for more than a year. Anne, who has the television show 'The Queen of Means,' is said to have fallen in love with the twice-married Army brigadier, 83, after being introduced by a mutual friend. According to insiders, one of their first dates was ex Prime Minister David Cameron's dinner party, with Andrew able to 'poke fun' at the host, who is known for his sharp tongue. Although the couple's affair is said to have been a 'open secret' in upper circles, Camilla has only heard about it for a few weeks, according to The Sun.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Robert Jenrick, the now-you-know-him-now-you-don't immigration minister, reaffirms his passion for immigration cuts. Could this be the same Tory politician who wrote in The Art Newspaper encouraging hundreds of foreign artists, dancers and writers to come to Britain using the little-known Home Office scheme, the Global Talent visa?Around 700 people from 60 different countries, including China, the United States, Nigeria, and Russia, have registered this year. Before packing his ministerial sandwiches in a road map, Rob said, 'We're attracting the best and brightest to Britain.'

JANET STREET-PORTER: To many, it will be the season of good cheer and blessings, but I find it difficult to congratulate Anne Robinson, Queen of Means, on her new posh boyfriend, Andrew Parker Bowles. According to locals in their smart bit of the Cotwolds, Anne (79) and the 83-year-old retired army officer have been secretly dating for a year. What is it about these ageing lovers that gives me the 'ick'?More importantly - am I jealous?Possibly.

Anne Robinson has been involved with Queen Camilla's ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles for a year. The legendary TV host, 79, was 'The Queen of Means' with the former Army brigardier, 83, as a 'open secret' among the upper class. Anne has kept her personal life private. When asked by the Sun about her relationship, she replied: "It's none of your company." This isn't Anne or Andrew's first rodeo; both have been married twice before and have children from their respective marriages. But who is Anne Robinson's previous husband's and her daughter Emma Wilson?MailOnline explores the celebrity presenter's family life.

Despite a marriage that involved infidelity on both directions, the former army brigadier, 83, and the Queen, 75, are remarkably close since their divorce in 1995. Andrew and his fiancee were 'joined at the hip,' according to insiders, with Andrew receiving a VIP invitation to attend the Coronation in May. Andrew attended Queen Camilla's wedding to King Charles in 2005 and has remained close to the pair ever since. Laura Lopes and Tom Parker Bowles are married (centre, top). Anne Robinson (right with Queen Camilla in 2013), the former host of The Weakest Link, has been dating Andrew for about a year, according to The Sun last night.

According to publications, Anne Robinson has been in a mystery affair with Camilla's ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles for a year. After being introduced by a mutual friend, the former Countdown host, 79, who has the television name 'The Queen of Means,' is said to have fallen in love with the retired Army brigadier, 83, [pictured top right with Camilla]. Their friendship is said to be a "open mystery" within upper circles. Both Anne and Andrew were married twice [Anne is pictured with ex-husband John Penrose bottom right].

According to a royal expert, King Charles has gone from a 'confused young man' to the 'nation's grandfather'. Richard Kay (left), a member of Palace Confidential, discussed how Charles has gotten'very comfortable in his skin', as he commemorated the monarch's 75th birthday next month. 'Prince of Wales, as he then was, was a confused man'.

If Diana and Camilla's feudalism became part of royal folklore, they weren't the only women to be involved with the heir to the throne. Charles had two married women 'on call for the Prince in the 1970s, but their husbands tended to the other way,' according to author Tina Brown. Camilla Shand, one of them, was married to glamorous army officer Andrew Parker-Bowles later. The other was a young Australian named Dale 'Kanga' Tryon, who had met Charles when he was 17 and had spent six months at Geelong Grammar School.

She is happily married to King Charles, but there was another man who had captured her heart even before the Queen's Camilla love story began with His Majesty. When I can reveal that Kevin Burke, her first love, died at the age of 77, I hear the Queen, 76, may be beset by nostalgia. The pair first met during the Queen's time as a fun-loving debutante, where she was adored by a slew of male admirers from the opulent soirees that she would attend. Mr Burke died earlier this month, and his family's appeal for donations to the British Heart Foundation was rejected.

Late Queen Elizabeth once described the now-Queen Consort as a "wicked woman." However, she has gained the trust of a large portion of the public, as well as other members of The Firm. As the late Queen's 70th anniversary on the throne, she expressed her displeasure with Camilla's'sincere wish' that she be formally identified as Queen Consort when she took the reign. Now known simply as Queen Camilla, she will have a sense of pride in her royal career, which was off to a rocky start.

FEMAIL reveals how Queen Camilla, 75, and her younger sister Annabel Elliot, 74, who lives in Dorset, were seen at a variety of functions over the summer and enjoying a close friendship. The pair bonded over a enthralling match at Wimbledon earlier this week between Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina, leaning into each other to talk as they kept their attention on the court.
