Queen Camilla named the hit Netflix show she watched during an appearance with King Charles.

The King and Queen attended the Chelsea Flower Show in London on Monday afternoon where they were shown around various gardens.


Charles, 75, and Camilla, 76, arrived in a state Bentley before separating to see as many gardens as possible between them.

One of the first stops on the Queen’s tour was the Bridgerton Garden inspired by the popular television show.

The “secretive and secluded” space is based on Penelope Featherington, the leading character in Bridgerton’s most recent season.

Holly Johnston, the garden designer, described it as a “safe, personal and intimate space” for the character who Johnston imagined running away to the garden when she was having a hard time during the show.

As the Queen was led around the garden, she said: “I watched the first lot.”

The first part of the third season of Bridgerton was released on May 16 while part two will be released on June 13.

The sculptures were made by artist Emma Stothard, who established her business with the help of The Prince’s Trust.

Stothard told The Telegraph that the sculptures would be taken back to Highgrove, the King and Queen’s Gloucestershire home, and placed in the gardens.
