King Charles III and Queen Camilla have unveiled their unexpected TV guilty pleasure—BBC's Wolf Hall, a historical drama based on the life of Thomas Cromwell during the turbulent reign of Henry VIII.
According to palace insiders, the royal couple often unwinds by watching the critically acclaimed series together, showcasing a lighter side to their otherwise demanding royal lives.
Camilla, known for her vibrant personality and love for literature, is said to have introduced the show to Charles. As founder of The Queen's Reading Room, her passion for history and storytelling makes Wolf Hall, based on Hilary Mantel's award-winning novels, a perfect choice for their downtime.
Nicknamed the "Tigger" to Charles’ "Eeyore," Camilla brings a playful energy to their shared moments, helping the King relax amidst a challenging year that has included ongoing cancer treatment and the responsibilities of the crown.
Charles’ appreciation for the arts, from music to storytelling, aligns seamlessly with the Tudor-inspired series. These quiet evenings offer the King much-needed solace and a chance to bond with his Queen over their shared love for history and culture.
For the royal couple, Wolf Hall isn’t just a show—it’s a cherished escape from the pressures of royal life.
