Following the Queen's death on September 8, people around the world have been desperate to learn as much about the late monarch as possible, reading memories from those who had met her and discovering all sorts of facts about her life. For instance, some have only just learned that Queen Elizabeth II was never actually meant to take the crown. Others might be interested to learn more about her favourite television show.
In a piece for The New Statesman, journalist Phil Jones claims that back in 2001 the Queen told him all about her favourite programme during a visit to Buckingham Palace. Jones has kept the contents of this conversation secret for over 20 years but recently brought it to light as he's left BBC Radio 2.
