Hollywood legend Sir Gary Oldman has revealed an interesting truth about Prince William and Queen Camilla. The 68-year-old actor revealed that both William and Camilla regularly tune in to watch him play Jackson Lamb, the unkempt, foul-mouthed head of a group of misfit MI5 operatives. The star disclosed that senior members of the royal family are devoted viewers of the thriller 'Slow Horses.'

He made these claims while speaking on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, expressing amusement at the idea of royals settling down to enjoy the programme at the palace. The veteran performer went on: 'She said: 'Are there any more? I hope it's coming back, isn't it?'' The Queen has encountered Oldman on several occasions and made her enthusiasm clear. William offered a rather more playful response to Oldman's portrayal of the notoriously dishevelled Lamb.

Gary added: 'It was William who said to me, 'every time you come on the screen, I just want to give you a good wash'.' It's hard to imagine, isn't it? There's sort of one of the Windsors at the palace on their sofa, 'Slow Horses is nearly on'.' Oldman also reflected on receiving his knighthood, which took place at Windsor Castle, saying: 'I was deeply honoured to have that bestowed upon me, and it's an experience that is just unique and unto itself.'

'The whole pomp and circumstance of it is overwhelming,' he remarked, describing the recognition of his decades-long career as 'a beautiful thing.' Sir Gary Oldman received his knighthood from Prince William in September 2025. The Oscar-winning actor was recognised for his service to drama during the King's Birthday Honours, having previously starred in major film franchises and won an Academy Award in 2018.
