The Queen was apparently a big fan of weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker and loved watching his forecasts.
The late monarch – who died on 8 September at the age of 96 – is said to have made a point of tuning in to see whether Tomasz was predicting rain or sunshine.
A source told the Daily Mail it was almost “like a bit of a crush”.

“She always wanted to watch the forecasts when he was on,” the insider claimed.
“She was amused hearing the cadences when his name was read out but she loved watching him, too.”

The Queen will not have been alone in enjoying watching Tomasz, who was born in Poland and first joined the BBC weather centre in 2000.
The meteorologist, who is 43, is very popular with viewers thanks to his presenting style.
And in 2017 he was even voted the most popular weather presenter in the UK in a Radio Times survey.
He beat some big hitters like Carol Kirkwood to take the title and admitted to Radio Times that he was “really flattered” about the whole thing.

Another said: “Very well deserved Tomasz! You cheer so many of us up and the Queen obviously has good judgement!”
“A memory to treasure!!” the fan added.
“Can’t fault her taste,” one person tweeted.
