July 12, 2020 - 18:31 BST Emmy Griffiths Fans of The Durrells have at least one thing in common with the Queen - as she is also a huge fan! According to Josh O'Connor, who plays Larry Durrell in the ITV drama, Her Majesty loves tuning into the show, and even approved of the actor to play her son, Prince Charles, on Netflix's The Crown.The Queen is reportedly a fan of the ITV show
Chatting to Radio Times about the monarch's interest in the series, he said:"A crew member [from the The Crown] came to me one day and distracted me by talking about The Durrells. Previously, they had taken a photo of me [in character as Prince Charles] and sent it to someone, who'd sent it to someone else, who'd then sent it to someone else. As they were explaining it, I'd lost interest about who'd the photo had been sent to.
He continued: "The crew member said that someone who saw the picture told him, 'I loved him in The Durrells, it's one of my favourite shows.' I just said, 'Oh, that's good,' thanked him and walked off. They said it was the most under-appreciated reply to their story. Because the fan they were talking about was the Queen. This crew member has managed to get this picture of me to the Queen who’d said that she loved me in The Durrells! The real life Queen.
