It might be hard to picture Queen Elizabeth watching television, but just like any of us, the late Queen had her favorites when it came to game shows and even police dramas. Longtime friend of the Royal Family Gyles Brandreth revealed one of the monarch’s favorite programs in his book Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait, and he said that watching TV helped her relate to the public.
After Prince Philip died in 2021, the late Queen took up watching a surprising show, according to Vice-Admiral Sir Tony Johnstone-Burt, who was part of the royal’s bubble at Windsor Castle during the COVID-19 pandemic. “My principal duty with HM has been to keep her spirits up—so I’ve been watching Line of Duty with her,” he told Brandreth.
