Countryfile is heading to the Queen’s private estates at Balmoral and Sandringham.
Three special episodes will be filmed at the royal locations, and also Windsor, to mark the show’s 30th birthday.
The BBC1 rural affairs show said that the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had given permission for the filming.
The episodes will commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation and show how the estates are run and the Queen and the duke’s involvement.
