King and Queen Consort ‘personally choose’ coronation food recipe

King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort, have personally chosen a recipe for “Coronation Quiche” in celebration of the Big Lunches due to be staged to mark their coronation.

Charles and Camilla shared the recipe for the open-baked savoury tart, which features spinach, broad beans and tarragon, the royal family’s official Twitter account revealed.
