Albert Square got itself two royal visitors on Thursday, June 2 as the Duchess of Cornwall made cameo appearances in EastEnders.

In the special episode, residents of the Square were stunned as the royals turned up at a street party marking the Jubilee. Departing Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer, told customers at the Vic that the "special guest or guests would not disappoint" as they all prepared for the royal arrival.

As Albert Square got ready for the royal arrival, Rocky Cotton hosted a party in which Whitney Dean (or 'Whitney Spears') sang 'Toxic' by Britney Spears. The moment was slammed on social media as "cringe" by binky1234 on Twitter.
