Duchess of Cornwall is a Downton Abbey Addict...But Not Prince Charles!

Lesley Nicol, who plays Mrs Patmore the cook in the popular ITV series, met Camilla at a charity event and discovered that she never misses an episode.

"Camilla loves Downton Abbey," she said. "We have spoken and she genuinely loves the show."

Prince Charles, however, did not appear to have heard of the period drama, which depicts the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants.

"When I was talking to Prince Charles he had a slightly glazed look, although being very nice," Nicol said.  "Then somebody said, 'Sir, do you know Downton Abbey?' and he replied, 'Oh, I sort of come and go, really'. So I thought, 'I'm on a loser now,' but I think a lot of the Royals do watch it."

I agree. I can imagine her rushing home to watch her DVR'd episode and hushing Charles during the dialogue.
