It comes as part of the special episode on Thursday that also sees Martin Fowler try to convince Sharon Watts to introduce herself to Prince Charles.

The Jubilee episode of EastEnders featuring Charles and Camilla will close with a royal adaptation of the soap’s classic theme tune.

The regal tune will play during the end credits of Thursday’s show as residents celebrate the royal visit and toast the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

The Jubilee-themed tune was written by Simon May, who composed the original piece.

May has written other variations of the classic BBC soap opera theme tune, including one for one of the show’s creators Julia Smith and another for Barbara Windsor’s farewell episode as Peggy Mitchell.

In the Jubilee programme, Charles and Camilla will surprise the residents of Albert Square at a street party held in honour of the monarch’s historic reign.

A teaser clip already released shows the royal couple pulling up in a car beside The Queen Vic pub as they are greeted by Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer, who says: “Welcome to Walford.”

Mick and Linda Carter, played by Kellie Bright, then proceed to introduce the royals to their fellow residents.

Newly released images also show Linda presenting a cake which is cut by Camilla.

The royal couple filmed the scenes in March when they visited the new Elstree set and met the cast and crew of the long-running soap opera.

The show’s executive producer Chris Clenshaw said: “To have Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall not only visit us all in Walford, but to also appear in an episode, we felt it was only right that we marked this extremely momentous episode with a fitting tribute.

“And what better way than to wish their royal highnesses on their way from Albert Square than with a special Jubilee version of our iconic theme tune, remastered by the very talented Simon May.”

The special Platinum Jubilee episode featuring Charles and Camilla is due to air on June 2.
