Does the Royal Family Watch TV? The Answer Might Surprise You

During a 2017 appearance on BBC's Radio 1, Kate and William revealed that they're fans of Homeland and Game of Thrones and that they like to catch up on TV after their kids are in bed. The duo also shared that Prince George and Princess Charlotte are into children's shows like Farmer Sam and Peppa Pig.

In 2015, Kate visited the set of Downton Abbey, which she apparently forced William to watch with her after the birth of Prince George.

Yes, the queen herself has seen The Crown (though Prince Philip apparently isn't a fan), but that's not the only royal show she's into. Her Majesty reportedly also enjoys Downton Abbey and specifically looks for historical inaccuracies while viewing.

But just because she's a serious monarch doesn't mean she can't enjoy a little mindless TV — the queen was apparently into The X-Factor and had her staff record it so she could watch the following day.

The Crown is a hit with many royals, and that includes Princess Eugenie. She shared in 2017 that she's "proud to watch it."

The heir to the throne and his wife enjoy a little TV time as well, with Gardeners' World and other nature programs at the top of their list. Cooking fits in too since Camilla's son, Tom Parker Bowles, hosted the British cooking show Market Kitchen between 2007 and 2010.

Having left her own TV show to marry into the royal family, it's no surprise that Meghan and Harry enjoy relaxing with their series' recordings. Harry is said to be a fan of Britain's Got Talent as well as The X-Factor. And reality competitions seem to be their cup of tea, since they also enjoy The Voice Kids and even met one of the contestants during a visit to London's Royal Albert Hall in April.

The queen's granddaughter Zara and her husband, Mike, have forgone their royal titles, but they're still into the drama. They're apparently "addicted" to The Crown but also enjoy the entertainment of Strictly Come Dancing. At one point, Zara was rumoured to be joining the competition, though she's so far only been spotted in the audience.
