Speaking about the show, she revealed: “I watched the first batch.”

The garden theme is timely, as the third season of Bridgerton launched on Netflix last week, exploring the friends-to-lovers story arc between Penelope and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
With the first four episodes of season three unleashed, and four more on the way next month, romance is getting a starring role in the country’s most famous horticultural show.
The first season of 2020, which the Queen watched, starred Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and the Duke of Hastings (Rege-Jean Page), and captured the hearts of viewers with its stunning scenes and impressive attention to detail. .
Bridgerton’s enchanting landscape, filmed in beautiful locations across the UK, is a big part of the show’s romance with brilliant floral displays, water features and the grandeur of Regency-era gardens.
Elsewhere in Chelsea, King Charles appeared to be in his element returning to work as he chatted to supporters in the sweltering spring heat.
The King and Queen, both avid gardeners, were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Prince and princess michael of Kent for the occasion, which is a staple in the royal calendar.
