It comes as it was announced the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will guest star in a special EastEnders episode in honour of the Queen‘s Platinum Jubilee.

The news comes as the 96-year-old monarch continues to entrust members of the Royal Family with increased responsibilities as she faces ‘episodic mobility problems’.

She has though made four recent public outings this month, including attending the Windsor Horse Show, star-studded Platinum Jubilee celebrations in Windsor, the Chelsea flower show and the opening of the Elizabeth Tube line, appearing in good spirits at all of them.
