Steve Randall isn’t a celebrity. He’s not a footballer or a rock star. He’s a policeman. Specifically, a Scottish police officer who worked in the Royalty Protection Command. Yes, that’s the unit that protects the Queen and other royals. Talk about a man with a serious poker face, right?
Now, about his age. This is where it gets a little fuzzy. Carol was born in 1962, which makes her 62 as of 2026. Steve is rumored to be a few years younger. How many? A solid five years, give or take. That would put him at around 57 or 58.
But wait—some online gossip mills claim he’s actually closer to Carol’s age. Others say he’s a full decade younger. Honestly, it’s like trying to nail down the exact wind speed in a tornado. You get a general idea, but the precision is slippery.
Why is this so hard to find out?
Because Carol is a master of discretion. She didn’t even confirm her marriage until two years after the wedding! The ceremony was a small, secret affair in Scotland. No paparazzi, no Instagram stories. Just Carol, her man, and a piper playing in the background. She wants her husband to stay out of the spotlight. And let’s be honest: if your husband used to guard the Queen, he’s probably very good at staying invisible.

So, the age gap? It’s a mystery wrapped in a kilt. But here’s the thing: does it even matter? I mean, have you seen Carol Kirkwood? She looks like she’s been preserved in Botox and good cheer. She could be 62 or 42. She’s aging like a fine cheese or a classic Aston Martin. Meanwhile, Steve looks like a handsome, rugged copper who can probably still chase down a suspect.
Let’s look at the clues, shall we? In 2026, Carol posted a rare photo of them on holiday. Friends described him as “a few years younger” and “very fit.” That tracks with the police officer thing. Also, a source told a tabloid that Steve is “young at heart.” Which is code for “we’re not telling you his exact birthday, so stop asking.”
