Cameron Walker: Age, Partner, Career and the Royal Correspondent Who Covered the Queen’s Death at 25
Most correspondents get a decade to prepare for the biggest story of their lives. Some get five months.
He was standing in Luton Airport when the news appeared on the phones of the passengers around him. Cameron Walker had left the GB News studios an hour earlier, trying to reach Balmoral, where the Queen’s doctors had said that morning her health was in serious decline. He had watched senior royals arriving in cars and understood what it meant. Then the airport told him before his own newsroom could.
He was 25 years old and five months into the first on-air job of his career.

The five months that made his career
April 2022: he became GB News royal correspondent, his first job in front of a camera. Until then he had been a producer at the channel, working behind the scenes
.
September 2022: the Queen died, and he was reporting it alongside correspondents with thirty years on him.
Writing about it afterwards in Press Gazette, he was blunt about the fear. He worried that a young correspondent would struggle to be taken seriously on the biggest constitutional story in seventy years. GB News was fifteen months old, drawing 2.6 million monthly television viewers, and everyone from the planners to the tech staff felt the weight of it.
What he noticed about his own channel’s coverage is more interesting than the nerves. Rather than crowding London, GB News pushed reporting teams into local pubs and community centres to gauge reaction outside the metropolitan bubble. His colleague Tom Harwood, the political correspondent, spent the days working the lie-in-state queue.
What he does now
Royal exclusives, which is the hardest currency on that beat.
In July 2026 he broke the story that Prince Harry had accepted an offer to stay at Buckingham Palace during a UK visit, after weeks of speculation and unresolved questions about his security arrangements. GB News ran it as an exclusive with his byline on it.
Beyond breaking news he presents special programmes dedicated to the royal family, and writes analysis that treats royal appearances as deliberate communication rather than fashion coverage – an Order of the Garter piece, for instance, reading the Princess of Wales’s clothing choice as a statement about backing British manufacturing.
His own description of the job, from his professional bio, is less grand: royal correspondent, often spotted gatecrashing TV studios.
Worcester, Nottingham and a choir that toured three continents
He grew up in Warwickshire and attended King’s School Worcester from 2008 to 2015.
At Nottingham Trent he read Broadcast Journalism and won a choral scholarship, which paid for his singing lessons and put him in a choir that toured internationally. He performed in South Africa, China and India. That is not a line you expect in the biography of a news correspondent, and it is one of the few details he volunteers about himself.
He also worked the industry from the outside in, approaching television producers and directors directly for placements and freelance shifts until one of them said yes.
The dissertation and the royal visit that set the direction
Two things happened in his final year, and both point straight at his career.
He covered Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s first visit to Nottingham as a newly engaged couple, filing copy and video back to the student newsroom. He has said that experience is what sealed his ambition to become a royal reporter.
For his dissertation he produced a television documentary on male teenage suicide. It was nominated for a Royal Television Society award. A student documentary on that subject, taken seriously enough for an RTS nomination, says something about the reporter that the royal beat does not.
Jersey, Good Morning Britain and the route in
After graduating he won a place on the ITV News traineeship and was posted to the Channel Islands for around a year, working for ITV Channel Television.
He describes the year as learning to produce and present bulletins, to build professional television reports, and to write for the ITV News website – the whole craft, at a scale small enough to make mistakes on. By 2020 he was in London as an output researcher on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, producing multiple items a shift and cutting pre-recorded packages.
Then GB News, first as a producer, then in front of the camera.
How old is Cameron Walker?
Around 28 or 29, and the arithmetic is straightforward.
Press Gazette identified him as 25 years old in October 2022, when he wrote about covering the Queen’s death. That places his birth year at approximately 1997, which makes him 28 or 29 as of July 2026, depending on where his birthday falls.
No exact date of birth is published, and the aggregator sites that state one do not agree with each other.
Partner, relationships and private life
He does not discuss it, and nothing is on the public record.
Around 1,000 searches a month go to questions about his marital status, partner and personal life. There is no published answer to any of them. He has not spoken about relationships in interviews, his social media is professional, and no reliable source documents anything.
That is his choice to make, and the absence of information is not a puzzle to be solved by guesswork. His public Instagram account is CameronDLWalker.
