According to the British “Daily Mail” the king asked why his colleague Anthony McPartlin (48) could not take part in the event.
Unusual welcome for King Charles
Donnelly is said to have joked that he was “too busy breastfeeding” after he had his first child with wife Anne-Marie a week ago – a son named Wilder. This apparently made the king smile. He sent his congratulations to the new father.
