Prince Edward has tried King Charles’ new “Coronation Quiche” as the recipe for the dish was officially revealed.

Markle’s appearance is raising eyebrows considering she’s infamously not attending the historic May 6 event.The fun family photo was actually snapped in Clarence Gardens in 2018 for Charles’ 70th birthday, which explains the absence of Harry and Meghan’s babes Princess Lilibet, 1, and Prince Archie, 3.Of course some social media watchdogs are cattily calling out the dated image.

Prince Harry's security will be assessed on a “case-by-case basis” amid a “huge policing operation" for King Charles’ Coronation.

The brothers are set to come face to face at their father's crowning next month, marking the first time they have seen each other since the release of Harry and wife Meghan Markle's explosive Netflix docu-series and his memoir, Spare.

It was revealed earlier this year that the Queen Consort will be crowned alongside King Charles on May 6 at Westminster Abbey with Queen Mary's Crown, rather than have another Crown made from scratch.The palace said the decision had been made “in the interests of sustainability and efficiency.” The last time a consort's crown was reused was in the 18th century, when Queen Caroline, consort of King George II, wore Mary of Modena’s (wife of King James II's) crown.
