On Friday, the 56-year-old conducted an exclusive and in-depth interview with radio hosts, Kyle & Jackie O, in which she discussed everything from her own Royal wedding in 1986 to what she watches in her down time.

She also spoke about still living with her ex-husband Prince Andrew, and why, in her opinion, they are the most 'extraordinary example of a unified family'.

'I'm really into [the recent BBC series] The Night Manager at the moment,' she revealed, as well as well as discussing her penchant for Downton Abbey and, perhaps unexpectedly, CSI Miami.

One of the most interesting discussions during the interview was when she talked about her relationship with Prince Andrew, who she affectionately described as the 'incredible love affair of my life'.

'It was the greatest day of my life marrying the finest man,' she said, talking about her own Royal wedding.

'It was an extraordinary moment when you think back,' she said.

'We first met when I was 12-years-old at a fireworks party.

'You cannot describe it, but you don't take a moment for granted.'

'I find it impossible to keep up with it all.'
