A source told the publication: 'They have sensibly avoided being photographed together as they both wanted to keep this quiet for as long as possible.
'Annie proudly tells everyone she's the daughter of a market trader chicken seller and she's as far from a toff as you can get – honestly it beats any storyline The Crown can think of.
'Annie and Andrew get along great; she often makes him laugh, and he is one of the few people who can get away with making fun of her. She likes to joke that she is “new money”; despite the fact that she went to boarding school, her father got a double scoop and she holidayed at The Carlton in Cannes for part of the summer, when she wasn't working behind her mother's stall.'
Both Anne and Andrew have been married twice.
Anne married the journalist Charles Wilson in 1968. In 1970, the couple had a daughter, Emma Wilson, who became a British radio disc jockey.
The presenter married journalist John Penrose in 1980, but they split in 2007 and announced their plans to divorce, citing 'irreconcilable differences'.
Andrew, meanwhile, divorced Camilla in 1995 after 22 years of marriage, but remains close friends – despite a complicated history involving infidelity on both sides.

'It's just little showers there! I would call Tinder 'desperate'. I have a certain pair of glasses, they're my red glasses and I can put them in.
'I promise you. You need red glasses to draw.”
Anne explained that she would settle for nothing less than a CEO of the company.
The former Points Of View frontwoman also revealed that as an older woman she is in favor of a healthy appetite for sex.
The sun reported at the time that she told them she hoped women her age are having sex – and made her bedroom antics known to 'keep me young'.
'I don't have a partner at the moment, I've had two husbands and they're lovely. I am a committee of one,” she added.
Anne was first introduced to the world of online dating when she created a Tinder profile in the BBC documentary Britain's Relationship Secrets on Monday evening.
She quickly dismissed anyone holding an alcoholic drink in their profile picture, as Anne has had a well-documented struggle with alcohol and is now a teetotaler.
About one profile she said: 'This is Gary, a freelance actor, I don't think this would make much of an income.'
However, she was happy to look for a gentleman who works in the financial world: “Quick, I want to go back to the sixty-year-old who has a job in banking.”
She added, “I just want a Tinder that's CEOs and above.”
Anne is best known as the presenter of The Weakest Link, which she presented from 2000 to 2017.
The presenter hosted Countdown for 13 months, but quit in July last year amid rumors of backstage drama.
It was claimed the Countdown cast were 'relieved' that Anne was leaving following reports of a row with Rachel Riley – who Anne reportedly found 'too loud' – and Susie Dent.
The presenter, who worked on a freelance basis, admitted that despite being offered a pay rise, she did not want to be on Channel 4's payroll so decided to give up her role as host.
Speaking to The Sun, she admitted: 'I come from a long line of alcoholic Irish bandits, so suggesting I go to PAYE is a bit like asking Philip Green or Richard Branson to join the company payroll.
'I was not interested in an offer on that basis. Even if that included financial parity. However, I will be missing out on Channel 4 meal vouchers, which is a real shame.”
