King Charles has given royal fans a hint at what he watches when he relaxes in front of the TV after making a well-timed joke about It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia with Rob McElhenney.
The monarch was joined by his wife Queen Camilla as they stopped by for a tour of Wrexham AFC's stadium, The Racecourse Ground. During their visit, they met with club owners and Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
In season two of their popular Disney+ series Welcome To Wrexham, which has just dropped the first episode, Ryan and Rob revealed they took etiquette lessons before meeting the King to make sure everything went smoothly. Their colleague Humphrey Ker has now revealed what happened during their meeting.

The King replied: "I hear it's always sunny there," referencing the hugely popular sitcom which Rob starred in and co-created, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Executive director of Wrexham football club Humphrey has revealed the joke was completely deliberate. "He [King Charles] knew full well," he explained.
