The star said she struck up a conversation with Prince William, while the pair attended a dinner together.
She said, “He asked what I was doing at the moment before he quickly added, ‘Actually, I know what you’re doing,’
“I was so excited and asked, ‘Have you watched it?’ His answer was a firm, ‘No.’

Olivia also revealed that she worked with a movement coach to perfect the monarch’s walk.
“It turns out I can't change what my body does," she said. "So I still walk like me, which I've been told is like a farmer.”
The Oscar-winning actress appeared on the chat show alongside her co-star Helena Bonham Carter, who plays Princess Margaret in the series.
Helena Bonham Carter told Graham Norton that she used a psychic to speak to the ghost of Princess Margaret, before she had accepted the Netflix role, saying that she asked the late princess if she was happy for her to play the role.
