King Charles and Queen Camilla are reportedly 'huge fans' of the BBC show The Apprentice, according to programme advisor Baroness Karren Brady. The 56-year-old revealed that the royal couple request previews of the series to watch candidates compete for Lord Sugar's £250,000 investment.
Speaking at the launch of the 20th series in London, Baroness Brady said: 'Two huge fans of the show are His Majesty the King and the Queen. And they ask [Lord Sugar] if they can have previews of the show. They like to watch it.' The vice-chairman of West Ham United suggested the show could capitalise on this by staging a task at a royal palace, such as Buckingham Palace.
Lord Sugar, 78, joked about a potential royal task involving his estranged son, Prince Harry, quipping: 'How about a renegotiation to bring Harry back in the fold?' Baroness Brady responded: 'Only you can do that!' The Apprentice returns for its 20th series on Thursday, 29 January at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
