Queen Camilla has revealed she has seen the first season of Netflix hit Bridgerton.
The royal, 76, today joined King Charles at the Chelsea Flower Show as he continues his return to public duties amid his cancer diagnosis.
The Queen toured a majestic 'Bridgerton' garden designed by by Holly Johnston and inspired by the hit show's Penelope Featherington (played by Nicola Coughlan).
The secluded space features lichens, mosses, ferns with a fountain at its centre.
As she explored the garden, Queen Camilla admitted that she's partial to a spot of guilty-pleasure TV watching and has seen the first season of Bridgerton - which is famously racy.

Camilla said she'd seen the first season of Bridgerton, which starred Phoebe Dynevor as Daphne and Rege-Jean Page as the Duke
Speaking about the show, she revealed: 'I watched the first lot'.
The period drama, which is known for its passionate romance scenes, may seem like a surprising choice for the Queen - but she will certainly resonate with its themes of high society and grandeur.
The garden's theme is timely - as the third season of Bridgerton was released on Netflix last week, exploring the friends-to-lovers story arc between Penelope and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
With the first four episodes of the third season unleashed - and four more on the way next month, the romance is getting a starring role at the nation's most famous horticultural extravaganza.
The first season in 2020, which the Queen has seen, featured Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and the Duke of Hastings (Rege-Jean Page) as its leads, and captured viewers hearts with its swoon-worthy scenes and stunning attention to detail.
Bridgerton's charming scenery, filmed in beautiful UK locations, is a huge part of the show's romance with bright floral displays, water features and the grandeur of Regency Era gardens all featuring.
Elsewhere at Chelsea, King Charles looked in his element to be back to work as he chatted to wellwishers in the soaring spring heat.
The King and Queen, both avid gardeners, were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent for the occasion, which is a staple in the royal calendar.

Camilla opted for springtime chic in a blue peacock print dress, while His Majesty decided to wear blue suit with a flower lapel.
It's one of Charles's first public events following his return to work after his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
As part of their visit, Charles and Camilla will see the No Adults Allowed Garden, the first garden in the history of the show to be designed by children.
The allotment features wetland, woodlands and meadows to encourage young people to take an interest in the environment.

The King's attendance is another positive step for the monarch who has been gradually getting back to public duties amid his cancer treatment.
Charles has had a long-standing relationship with the RHS, regularly attending the Flower Show over the years.
Ahead of the nation's favourite gardening event, Charles was announced as the new patron, taking over from his mother Queen Elizabeth II who died in September 2022.
Queen Elizabeth became Patron of the Society on accession to the throne in 1952, meaning she held the title for over 72 years.
Established in 1913, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has become one of the world’s greatest showcases for horticultural excellence, attracting visitors and exhibitors from across the globe.
Since its beginning, it has grown from 244 exhibitors in 1913 to over 500 today, including gardens, nurseries, floristry, educational displays, and trade stands.
Today the show attracts 168,000 visitors and is organised by the Royal Horticultural Society which was founded in 1804.
