Anne Robinson, 79, and Andrew Parker-Bowles, 83, the ex-husband of Queen Camilla have been dating for around eight months, and now a source has shared how the couple have been able to keep their romance under wraps.
Speaking to HELLO!, they confirmed: "They've been having an affair for about eight months. It's an extraordinary match as they're from very different backgrounds, and Anne has a reputation for being quite bossy. The Brigadier goes down to spend the night at her place and although their friends have known about their relationship, they've all managed to keep it out of the public eye - until now."
