The Queen Makes a Surprise Appearance on the Antiques Roadshow

You read that headline correctly, the Queen was on the Antiques Roadshow.

If you ever wondered what a Sunday night in with the Windsors was like, it involves watching the Antiques Roadshow, according to show presenter Fiona Bruce, who said that she'd heard Queen Elizabeth II was a 'fan' of the long-running BBC series.

That most definitely seemed to be the case when last night night saw HRH and husband Prince Phillip appear on the show to chat to experts about heirlooms from Hillsborough Castle, her residence in Northern Ireland, where the team were filming.

Although not looking to flog anything like members of the public who show off their knickknacks, Liz seemed delighted to discuss the history of the items, which included a horse statue, figurines and a christening cup that belonged to her aunt, Lady Granville.
