The Royals Detest The Crown, But Here’s What They DO Watch

British royal family news divulges that Netflix’s The Crown is a controversial depiction of the royal family, and some are saying this season it goes too far by focusing on the breakdown of Charles and Diana’s marriage. For some reason, Prince Harry got in bed with the streamer who now seem to own him and his wife Meghan. Tsk, tsk. Tangled web, and all that.

But the royals have made no secret of the shows they do approve of and watch, here are some of them.

Royal Family News – King Charles

Last week King Charles let the cat out of the bag when he appeared at the National Television Awards and recognized long running soap Emmerdale on its 50th anniversary. He admitted that he is such a fan, “I’m afraid I’m so old I remember when it was called Emmerdale Farm, owned by the Sugdens.”

Royal Family News – The Queen Consort

In a similar vein, last year Charles’ wife praised the BBC Radio 4 drama, The Archers. On the show’s 70th anniversary Camilla the Queen Consort stated: “For as long as I can remember, I have loved this program. It has been my faithful companion for a large part of my life. Like many other Archers addicts, I have been known to become quite ratty if disturbed between 7:00pm and 7:15pm – and, like thousands of others, had severe withdrawal symptoms when you all-but-disappeared during lockdown! But I’m very glad you’re back, let’s keep it that way.”
