The recipe posted in a video on the royal family's social media platforms includes spinach, broad beans, cheese and tarragon.

On the Royal Family website, the dish is described as "a deep quiche with a crisp, light pastry case and delicate flavours of spinach, broad beans and fresh tarragon. Eat hot or cold with a green salad and boiled new potatoes - perfect for a Coronation Big Lunch!"

Chief Royal chef Mark Flanagan came up with the recipe, and it was chosen specifically because it's perfect for sharing.

Four other celebrity chefs have come up with recipes for the big day on 6 May, including 2015 Great British Bake Off winner Nadia Hussain.

The quiche is the latest in a long line of official royal snacks.

Queen Elizabeth II's coronation dish in 1953 was "poulet reine Elizabeth", or coronation chicken, as it later became known.

The chicken in creamy curry sauce is often found in sandwiches, but can also be used in salads.

And for her platinum jubilee, which celebrated 70 years of the Queen on the throne, we had "platinum pudding", which was a lemon and almond trifle dessert.
