It was only last summer that we realized Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth have ashared love of photography, thanks to a slideshow that was posted to the royal family Instagram account. Following the release of Middleton's photography book,Hold Still,the royal family shared throwbacks which depicted Her Royal Majesty snapping photos throughout the years.
Now, it seems we've learned of another shared interest between the two. Apparently, the Duchess of Cambridge and Queen Elizabeth love the reality dancing competition show,Strictly Come Dancing, which follows a similar format toDancing with the Starsin that celebrities are paired with professional dancers and viewers vote on their favorites following each week's performances.
While visiting the set of the BBC seriesEastenders, Camilla Parker Bowles chatted with previousStrictly Come Dancingwinner, Rose Ayling-Ellis, and she revealed that the queen is a fan of the series. In a quote fromThe Daily Mail, Parker Bowles told Ayling-Ellis, “I said we were all voting for Rose, I don't know how you did all those dances.” And when the actress asked if the queen watched the series, the Duchess of Cornwall said, “I think she does. She probably watched you.”
