Vorderman rounded off the message saying she would be a "humble servant" to the King. She added that she only has words of "respect and love" for Charles and Camilla.
Speaking on Instagram, Vorderman said: "Long Live The King. I wish King Charles every element of peace, joy and strength during his reign.
"I believe he will become a great King. For decades before it became popular, he has championed environmental issues and young people.
"For over 40 years The Princes Trust has literally changed young people's lives. For decades too, we at The Pride of Britain Awards have been privileged to meet so many of their Young Achiever Award winners. I've been an Ambassador for the Trust for a very long time and seen their work at close hand.
"The stories of these incredible young people range widely from former drug addiction and violence to then getting jobs they love because of the Trust, to being in prison and then going on to becoming a multi millionaire entrepreneur. All of them, and so many more, whose lives changed dramatically because of The Princes Trust.
"One thing I know beyond any doubt whatsoever is that King Charles believes that no matter your background, no matter your story so far, there is goodness and a hope within us all. He has proven this time and time and time again, even though this may not be the narrative you read or see in the media.
"I have met King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla many times and have only words of respect and love towards them.
"With love. A humble servant who tries her best."
In a previous social media post, Vorderman spoke emotionally about how the Queen's death made her remember her own mum.
Posting as the Queen's coffin made its journey from Balmoral, where Her Majesty died on September 8, to Edinburgh, Vorderman wrote: "As the Queen's coffin begins its long journey from Balmoral to Edinburgh, and then onto London, there will be many of us who will shed tears for those we lost, particularly for our mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers and Uncles and Aunts who were born and lived through similar decades to Her Majesty. They saw the biggest changes the world has ever known, bigger than our generations will ever see.
"I'm remembering my Mum right now as I'm sure you're remembering those you loved too. May the journey be calm, and may we remember them all as we know they would want to be remembered. Tears of grief, and also- for the joy of having loved them fully."
