Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, are set to appear in a special episode of EastEnders.
The royals will star as themselves in the upcoming episode, which will air in the next couple of weeks.
They will join residents of Albert Square as they mark Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a street party.
The special scenes were filmed back in March when Charles and Camilla visited the set to meet the cast and crew of the long running BBC soap.
Fans will be able to watch the royal cameo on Thursday June 2, which marks the start of the four-day Jubilee bank holiday weekend.

Viewers have already seen Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) announce he is throwing a Jubilee party for the Square.
And he has been teasing viewers by saying some very special guests are due to join in the celebrations.
Partygoers are set to get the surprise of their lives when they realise exactly who the special guests are.
Kellie Bright, who plays Mick’s wife Linda Carter, praised the royals for taking part.
She said: “I did think what amazing sports that they are just willing to do it.
“I just thought wow, they’ve never done anything like this before. They didn’t really know what to expect.
“I mean, it must have been nerve wracking for them and completely out of their norm. So I just hope they enjoyed it as much as we did!”
Chris Clenshaw, Executive Producer on EastEnders said: “We are truly honoured to have both The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall appear in what is set to be one of EastEnders’ most special episodes.
“Linda Carter is naturally in her element and giddy with excitement as their Royal Highnesses arrive in Walford.
"But it wasn’t just her, as for all of us at EastEnders it was an extremely special day that will go down in EastEnders’ history.”
No doubt actor Danny was pleased to see Prince Charles again– as he recently discovered he is related to the royal in real life.
The 44-year-old is in fact a distant relative of the Prince, as he is also a direct descendant of King Edward III.
Speaking of the moment he told Prince Charles this at an awards bash a few years ago, he revealed the royal laughed.
The pair met before the Prince's Trust Awards in 2019, when the actor told him: "I'm in EastEnders. Just wanted to let you know we're related as well. King Edward III is my grandfather - but I won't go into it. No he is, on my life."
Prince Charles apparently replied: "A very long way away."
"Yeah, I know, I know," Danny replied.
Speaking later during the ceremony, the royal announced to the audience: "I’ve discovered a long lost relation in Danny Dyer.
"He told me he was descended from Edward III, which is interesting.”
He joked: "I must do some research when I get back."
The special Jubilee episode of EastEnders will air on BBC One at 7.30pm on Thursday 2 June.
