Elizabeth Hurley was close to causing a royal rumble after she posted a picture of herself in lingerie.

Hurley, 51, set pulses racing after treating fans to a backstage Instagram snap on the set of The Royals.

The actress, who plays Queen Helena in the hit E! series, was pictured wearing a silk robe while sitting in a decadent bedroom.

She captioned the shot: “It's good to be the Queen.”

Fans were quick to compliment Hurley with one writing: “Absolutely beautiful.”

Another posted: “Sexy as ever!! Can't wait for season 3.”

A third quipped: “Look out Sharon Stone, Hottie Hurley taking over.”

Hurley has reprised her role as Helena for the third series and recently told fans to expect “scandal”.

Speaking to E! she said: "There's a lot of intrigue, there's a lot of scandal, there's a lot of drama going on. There's definitely some big twists coming up, some of which I've been told about."

The Agent Carter actor will play Hurley's eldest son Prince Robert who was presumed dead after a military accident in the first series.
