Queen Camilla Admits to Watching a Binge-Worthy Netflix Show with Royal Ties

Even Queen Camilla wants to know Queen Charlotte’s pick for the diamond of the season!

King Charles and Queen Camilla continued a longstanding royal tradition by visiting the Chelsea Flower Show on May 20, where they toured several showcases celebrating horticulture. During a stroll around a Bridgerton-themed garden, the Queen, 76, revealed that she’s seen the Netflix hit.

“I watched the first lot,” she said during the outing, according to royal reporter Rebecca English.

The Regency-era show has plenty of ties to the British royal family, including the character of Queen Charlotte inspired by the real-life wife of King George III.

Queen Camilla isn’t the only member of the royal family who has followed along with Daphne, Simon, Anthony, Eloise and more of the characters. Sarah Ferguson told US Weekly in 2021 that she was so “obsessed” with the show that she watched it twice.

Holly Johnston designed the sanctuary garden inspired by Penelope Featherington, whose love story provides the centerpiece of the show’s third season, which premiered its first drop of episodes on May 16. While Penelope is shy at society events, she has an alter ego as Lady Whistledown, the author of a captivating gossip pamphlet.
