Queen Camilla has an unexpected TV preference that’s a bit of a surprise—her and King Charles’ favorite show to relax to is the BBC drama Wolf Hall, which is set during the chaotic reign of Henry VIII.
Sources close to the royal family say the couple enjoys watching the Tudor-themed series together as a way to unwind. While King Charles is typically seen as serious, Camilla, known as the “Tigger” to his “Eeyore,” often encourages him to enjoy their moments of relaxation.
Adapted from Hilary Mantel’s acclaimed novels, Wolf Hall explores the rise of Thomas Cromwell, a character that resonates with Camilla’s deep interest in history and literature.
Avid reader Camilla, who founded The Queen’s Reading Room, has always appreciated the power of books to offer an escape from royal life. This shared hobby is a welcome break for King Charles, who has had a challenging year with his ongoing cancer treatment and royal responsibilities.
The historical drama fits well with the King’s love for the arts, particularly music, painting, and storytelling. In a year marked by struggles, these quiet moments of connection with his Queen provide much-needed comfort.
