Whilst everyone was glued to their mobiles, TVs and laptops, watching the drama unfold, one question was on everyone’s minds: does the Queen actually watch this? According to Vogue she has, and surprisingly Her Maj approves.

A senior royal source has said that the Queen has watched all of season one and liked it (Claire Foy and Matt Smith are currently running around the palace mad with joy). So, how did the longest reigning Monarch in British history suddenly end up watching a show about her life? It’s all thanks to Prince Edward (her son) and his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex. Both huge fans of the show, it turns out they had been watching a few episodes of the Netflix drama with the Queen in the background, and after a little begging here and there, convinced the 91-year-old monarch to watch it.

It doesn’t end there, though. The Queen’s granddaughters, Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindell have also been quoted as saying that they are huge fans of the show (gasps again).
