Britain’s Queen Elizabeth is set to appear on ‘Antiques Roadshow’.
The 88-year-old monarch and her husband Prince Philip met with the BBC One show’s team of experts for an appraisal of some of their most treasured royal heirlooms during their three-day visit to Northern Ireland.
The queen proudly showed off her antique collection at her official residence of Hillsborough Castle, near Belfast, where the discussions were filmed as part of a special episode of the long-running series.
Philip was keen to find out when the scenes would air, with the queen chiming in as she signed the visitor’s book, "If it is in August then even better because we might have a chance to see it."
Among the items on show was a bronze sculpture of a horse and jockey by French artist Pierre Jules Mene, thought to be of the 1863 Derby winner Macaroni, a George IV library, an 18th century Chinese soup tureen and five figurines from a Meissen monkey orchestra, the BBC reports.
The royal couple spent about 10 minutes with experts before hundreds of people gathered to have their own items valued for the special episode.
