Queen Elizabeth reveals her favourite scone recipe

The coronavirus pandemic has brought changes to nearly everyone around the world and the British royal family is no exception.

Most of the large scale events for 2020 were cancelled or dramatically scaled back in favour of virtual engagements.

And the Garden Parties - hosted by the Queen during the British summer - happened to be one of the festivities that was forced to cancel.

Not only was it a huge blow to the Queen herself, but also to the thousands of guests from across the UK and the Commonwealth invited to have tea with the monarch.

Every year the Queen invites over 30,000 guests for tea in the grounds of Buckingham Palace in London, or the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.

But it’s not all doom and gloom, as the Royal Pastry chefs decided to share the much-loved recipe for fruit scones served at the Garden Parties.

The recipe was posted to the royal family’s Instagram account in May, have a watch below.
