She's admitted to having a penchant for Danish TV dramas in the past, but it would seem that the Duchess of Cornwall's taste isn't entirely high brow.
Along with political drama Borgen, her son Tom Parker-Bowles has now revealed that Camilla is also a big fan of daytime talk show, Loose Women.
The food writer appeared on the show today to promote his new ITV' series, Food Glorious Food, and let slip his mother's TV secret while being interviewed by the panel.

Fan: Camilla, who is currently in Jordan, was outed as a fan of Loose Women by food writer son Tom
Asked what his mother's favourite TV shows are, he replied: I'll be honest, I am not sucking up but she does watch Loose Women.
'She's very busy but when she's not abroad, or working or doing all the things she does, she watches Loose Women on the telly.
Although talk shows aren't the obvious choice of entertainment for royalty, Camilla has made no secret of her liking for an evening slumped in front of the telly.
Last year, she stunned the stars of Danish murder drama, The Killing, by turning up on the set of season three with Denmark's Crown Princess Mary.
The Duchess, who is currently in Jordan with Prince Charles,specifically requested the visit as part of an eight-day tour to the Scandinavian country spoke of her excitement, saying: 'I’m an addict! I'm so excited by this.'
After presenting Camilla with her very own Sarah Lund jumper, actress Sofie Gråbøl - who plays Lund - added: 'I think it is really surreal, but it's lovely that she wanted to come here.
Historic: Camilla, and her husband Prince Charles, today visited the Roman ruins at Jerash, Jordan
Favourite: When on home soil, Camilla apparently adores watching lunchtime talk show, Loose Women
'I told her last night to wear flat shoes. This [the old scrapyard used for filming] is not really an inviting place for a royal visit!'
While Loose Women doesn't have The Killing's sky high body count, it has been known to create controversy, not least with its steady stream of innuendo.
Panellists, including Daily Mail columnist Janet Street-Porter, are renowned for their forthright views, and because the show is streamed live, guests occasionally let slip the odd swear word.
American comedian, Joan Rivers, was famously thrown off the show during an ad break after she called Russell Crowe a 'f***ing s**t' on live TV.
Although ITV weren't impressed, Rivers saw the funny side, saying: 'I said: "I apologise". Everyone apologised. It was hilariously funny.'
Excited: Camilla was thrilled to meet the Killing's Sophie Gråbøl on set in Lynge while visiting Denmark.
