What food will be served at the coronation?
Buckingham Palace has declared the 'Coronation Quiche' as the official dish of King Charles III's coronation, with the royals' personally-chosen recipe featuring spinach, broad beans, cheese and tarragon. "Introducing… Coronation Quiche!" their Majesties penned on their official Instagram page, sharing a detailed video of palace pastry chefs whipping up the lunchtime delight.
Meanwhile, the Queen Consort's son Tom Parker Bowles, whom she shares with her first husband Andrew, revealed the two ingredients that are likely to be banned from the royal menu.
On The News Agents podcast, he told hosts Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel the food the 75-year-old would not like served at the coronation includes: "Chilli, garlic. I think that garlic can make your breath smell somewhat so I think just for purely social reasons you wouldn't have garlic."
He added: "She doesn't like chilli. She doesn't like massive spice. And I think if you're walking around, and I do not speak from experience on this, but you're walking around and meeting lots of people… I think you have to be a little bit careful not to get the tummy too excited."
