Princess Anne is known to have a great sense of humour – and she likes to tune in to comedy TV shows from time to time.
Now, her favourite funny programme has been revealed, thanks to comedian Adam Hills.
Adam met 72-year-old Anne this week when she made him an MBE for services to Paralympic sport and disability awareness at a Windsor Castle investiture ceremony.
The Australian funnyman, who has a prosthetic foot, has hosted Channel 4’s The Last Leg with Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker since its inception in 2012.
He said of his conversation with the Princess: “We talked about comedy for five minutes, she asked me how I got into comedy, whether was it something I always enjoyed, whether I came here to do it, or was I doing it in Australia.
“I don’t think I’m breaking royal protocol by saying she said her favourite comedy show was Would I Lie to You? Then she asked if I’d been on it and I said no, and she seemed quite disappointed.
“I’ll now call Lee Mack and tell him the Princess Royal watches him!” he added.
The Princess Royal has a reputation for her quick wit and droll sense of humour.
