Ant McPartlin’s Absence Explained to King Charles
Declan Donnelly informed King Charles about the reason behind Ant McPartlin’s absence at a Buckingham Palace reception. Ant, who recently became a father to a son named Wilder Patrick McPartlin with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, was unable to attend the event due to newborn baby duties.
Apology to the Monarch
Dec conveyed Ant’s apology to the King, mentioning that Ant was at home taking care of his newborn. He humorously added, “I don’t know whether I broke royal protocol by giving that information.”

Congratulations Pour In
Upon the announcement, friends and fans congratulated the couple on social media, expressing joy and well wishes for the new family of five.

Ant and Anne-Marie began dating in 2018, and their relationship blossomed despite challenges. The couple’s bond strengthened over the years, leading to the joyous arrival of their son, Wilder.
Final Thoughts
Ant and Dec recently wrapped up their show before Ant’s hiatus to focus on fatherhood. The couple’s journey has been filled with love, support, and now, the joy of welcoming a new member into their family.
