Since its release earlier this month, Black Doves has received widespread acclaim from audiences and has even made its way onto the televisions at Kensington Palace.
While chatting to families at a party for the 1st Battalion Mercian Regiment in Wiltshire, Prince William revealed that he had been watching the Netflix show with his wife, Princess Kate, over the festive period.

In the promo, the pair shared a hug while Keira whispered in Ben's ear, "Merry Christmas", to which he replied, "Hello, darling".
Keira then broke the fourth wall and addressed the audience as she raised her glass of champagne to toast the new series. She said: "Here's to Black Doves season one."
As Ben clinked his glass against his co-stars, he replied: "Don't forget season two, darling."
The duo then pulled two golden bullets out of a pair of red envelopes before they dropped them into their champagne glasses.
The show is set in the backdrop of Christmas. However, unlike Keira's previous iconic Christmas film Love Actually, Black Doves isn't your typical festive watch. The series has even been dubbed the new Die Hard among viewers.

In an interview with The Guardian, Keira said: "I'm planning to completely ruin the festivities with this one.
"If you're feeling angry with your relatives and you want to see two possible psychopaths killing lots of people at Christmas time, this is the show to go for."

There has been no confirmation over season two's release date yet, despite fans and royals eagerly waiting in anticipation for the news.
