Following her passing, memories of the Queen were shared by many.
And the Queen’s favourite TV show was revealed by Prince Harry and Prince William’s press secretary on the day of the Queen’s funeral.
The Queen liked to watch Coronation Street
Ed Perkins was on ITV Good Morning Britain on the morning of the Queen’s funeral alongside Ed Balls.
Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard interviewed the royal expert about the Queen’s viewing habits.
Speaking of Netflix hit show, The Crown, he said: "She watched Coronation Street, she had a lot of box sets and I know Prince Harry said he watched it but whether she watched it herself..."
