THE Queen is her former mother- in- law and her daughters are fifth and sixth in line to the throne.

But when it comes to films, it seems Sarah Ferguson has distinctly anti-royalist preferences.

In an interview with an American magazine, the Duchess of York said Braveheart, the film about William Wallace leading a revolt against the tyranny of England's King Edward, is a regular feature of DVD-watching marathons with her children.

And despite its director and star Mel Gibson admitting the Oscar-winning blockbuster took liberties with the truth, the Duchess, 46, said she believes the film to be very educational.

Gibson said it was his personal ' fantasy' of Wa l l a c e , while historians hailed it 'historically inaccurate, glamourised and romanticised'.

In Ladies' Home Journal, the Duchess revealed that instead of going out to glamorous parties as one might expect, her daughters spend their weekends watching DVDs with her.

Calling herself and her daughters Beatrice, 17, and Eugenie, 16, 'the tripod', she said they spend up to 20 hours a weekend in front of the television.

Bedat & Co Replica She said: 'The tripod is how you see us today. Totally connected in every single way " the way we look, the way we move.

'On weekends we sleep until midday. Then we have shepherd's pie for lunch.

Then Andrew calls and says, "What are you doing this afternoon?"

'The answer is always the same: We're watching DVDs " all
embroidered patches afternoon. We watch from 2 o'clock through till midnight. It's probably something like 24 or The OC.

'And we're really into Grey's Anatomy and Nip/Tuck. We don't move from our chairs. On Sunday it's the same " get up at midday, have roast chicken for lunch.

Then DVDs till midnight, unless they're going back to school, in which case we'll stop at six.' Acknowledging that some might think there are more educational things she could be doing to bond with her daughters, she added: 'Having our little world is the greatest way to escape from the realities of everyday-life. But also, you can learn so much from watching films. Like Braveheart, you see it's not nobility that will win a war, it's the courage from your heart.' Academics last month said ' spending too much time on sedentary, solitary pursuits' such as watching TV can 'inhibit children's mental and physical wellbeing'.

Last night, children's charities attacked the Duchess for encouraging so much TV watching. Michelle Elliott, of the charity Kidscape, said: 'There are much better ways to bond with your children " talking to them being the most important.' The Duchess told the magazine she had both a radio and TV show in the offing and she was also planning to write a historical novel with a flame- haired heroine. ' It will be Pride and Prejudice meets 24,' she said.
