Actor Sir Gary Oldman has shared that members of the British royal family, including Queen Elizabeth II and Prince William, are enthusiastic viewers of the television spy drama "Slow Horses." Speaking about the show, which stars Oldman as the disheveled intelligence officer Jackson Lamb, the 68-year-old actor revealed that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has expressed particular interest in the series’ continuation.

Oldman recounted encounters with Camilla who inquired about the release of the next season, demonstrating her engagement with the program. He also mentioned a humorous comment from Prince William, who reportedly quipped that upon seeing Oldman’s character on screen, he felt compelled to "give you a good wash," a remark reflecting the disheveled nature of Oldman’s role.

"Slow Horses," a British espionage drama adapted from Mick Herron’s novels, is set to premiere its sixth season on Apple TV+ on September 16, 2026. The series centers around a group of intelligence agents relegated to a low-status department, blending dark humor with suspenseful storylines.

In addition to "Slow Horses," the royal family is known to appreciate a range of British television shows, including "Poldark," "The Crown," "Wolf Hall," and "Clarkson’s Farm," highlighting their interest in diverse genres and historical narratives.

Oldman’s comments shed light on the intersection of contemporary British popular culture and the preferences of the monarchy, offering a rare glimpse into the entertainment tastes of prominent public figures.
