Queen Camilla Reveals The Netflix Show She's Been Watching: 'I Watched The First Lot'
Queen Camilla named the Netflix show she's been watching when she attended a flower show in London with King Charles.
On Monday, the King and Queen graced the Chelsea Flower Show "to meet the growers, designers and horticulturists that help make both UK gardens and its nation of gardeners some of the best in the world," according to The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
While they explored the different gardens separately to witness as many creations as possible, the Queen was led into a "secretive and secluded space" inspired by Penelope Featherington's character in the Netflix series "Bridgerton." That's when she revealed that she had been watching the show.

"I watched the first lot," she said while being toured around the garden.
Holly Johnston described her creation as a "safe, personal and intimate space" for Featherington to run away to when she is having a difficult time, according to GB News.
"Bridgerton" is a historical romance TV series created by Chris Van Dusen for Netflix. It is based on Julia Quinn's book series revolving around an eponymous fictional family in London in the early 1800s. In this era, the young marriageable nobility and gentry were introduced into society.
Penelope, the character who inspired Johnston's garden, is the youngest Featherington daughter, also known as the royal gossip columnist Lady Whisteldown. In the series, she falls in love with Colin Bridgerton.
The period series is currently in its third season.
Back to the Chelsea Flower Show, the royal couple reunited in the No Adults Allowed Garden, the first garden in the history of the show designed by children to show how to become gardeners who help the planet while having fun.
Sulivan Primary School students and designer Harry Golding co-designed the garden that featured a woodland, meadows, a wetland, oversized bog plants and a natural den set in a pool of water.
The Royal family has been in a long-standing and treasured relationship with the RHS. It dates back to when Prince Albert became the RHS President in 1958 and when he was bestowed the Royal Charter in 1861.
