Celebs Go Dating's Anna Williamson opens up on '40th birthday present' from King Charles

Anna Williamson has praised King Charles while also revealing the Monarch has sent her several birthday cards from him, as well as a present.

The Celebs Go Dating star has for several years been an ambassador for The Prince’s Trust, which the King founded in 1976 and has been fortunate enough to meet the 73-year-old.

However, Anna’s relationship with the Sovereign started when he was known as Prince Charles before his accession to the throne on September 8, 2022, following the death of his mother, the Queen.

But while it’s a working relationship and the pair aren’t close friends, it appears Charles still treats everybody as a close confidante.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, the 41-year-old said: “I’m a big fan of the royals and I think that King Charles will do a great job.

“From my experience, you can only speak as you find and I speak as I find, he’s been a thoroughly decent man, so I wish him all the best for his reign as monarch.

“It’s very bizarre to think that I’ve had several, I’ve even had a 40th birthday card and present from the King last year.

“Yeah, it’s quite strange really to think that and it’s a very proud moment, one to tell the grandkids!”

Discussing her experiences with the now King and The Prince’s Trust, Anna went on to say: “I’ve had the privilege of meeting, as he was, Prince Charles, HRH or ‘The Boss’ as he is called within the organisation several times.

“I’ve been invited to Highgrove and various drinks receptions, he’s a lovely guy and he honestly really cares, the genuine work and effort that he has put into that trust has been really hands-on and that’s why I’m such an advocate and such a proud ambassador for The Prince’s Trust, I have been for about 10/15 years.

“I see the direct help and impact that the charity has on young people.”

Anna joked that now Charles is King, she was confused as to whether their meetings will be more formal, noting he is rather “informal” away from the cameras.

The star and her husband Alex Di Pasquale launched an online coaching platform, The Relationship Place, helping people get the support they need when it comes to their love life.

Speaking about the platform, she said: “I strongly believe that everybody, every individual and relationship that can benefit should have a form of coaching and therapy.

“It just helps keep you on the right path and essentially we all want to have a happy and fulfilled life, so The Relationship Place is essentially that, it’s easy to access, incredibly affordable relationship and individual coaching.”
