Actress Elizabeth Hurley says her new TV show "The Royals" is too racy for her 12-year-old son Damian to watch.

The 49-year-old portrays British monarch Queen Helena in "The Royals" and though she takes her son, who she has with former boyfriend Steve Bing, to the set, she says it is too "sexy" for him to tune in, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

She said: "This is an extreme, sexy adventure into royalty. It's quite out there. For me this is like sex, drugs and rock 'n roll at Windsor Castle...

"I don't want (Damian) to read the scripts and I certainly don't want him to watch it!" she added.
