Britain's Prince Charles is a fan of 'Little Britain'.

The 64-year-old royal enjoys watching the comedy sketch show, starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, after being sent the box set from their celebrity friend, American comedienne Joan Rivers.

She told the Daily Star newspaper: 'I love 'Little Britain'. I sent it to Prince Charles and he loved it. He really loved it.

'It's insane, beyond funny, laugh out loud.'

Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, are also fans of BBC series 'Strictly Come Dancing' and backed Girls Aloud beauty Kimberley Walsh and her partner Pasha Kovalev during the last series, even vowing to call and vote for their favourite contestant.

Kimberley tweeted last year: 'Afternoon tea with the Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House then off to my first dance lesson !

'Ooh Charles was there too! Camilla said she'll vote for me on 'Strictly'! Ha (sic)!'

A source also revealed: 'Camilla is well-known as a big 'Strictly' fan and so when she saw Kimberley at the event she couldn't resist having a natter about the series so she could get the gossip from behind the scenes.

'Camilla says she's been watching all the way through and was supporting Kimberley and thinks she is improving every week which was lovely for her to hear. It gave Kimberley a real confidence boost.'
