King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla are no doubt busy finalising all the details of the coronation, as well as practising wearing the incredible crowns they will both don on the big day.

Many details about the May 6 ceremony have been already revealed, and on Thursday, Camilla's son, Tom Parker-Bowles gave fans a sneak peek at what to expect on the menu.

Queen Consort Camilla has banned two ingredients from the coronation menu

Mr Parker Bowles appeared on The News Agents podcast and made rare revelations about his mother, including the two ingredients that are likely to be banned from the menu next month.

Asked by hosts Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel about the food the 75-year-old would not like served at the coronation, Mr Parker Bowles said: "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."

Camilla is very close to her son, Tom Parker-Bowles

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."

Of what food Camilla loves, he added:  "She just loves fresh fish and fresh vegetables. She has a really nice vegetable garden at home… Her peaches that she grows."
