Members of the Royal Family will be on EastEnders as part of some special TV celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee.
A cameo from Prince Charles and his wife Camilla will soon feature as the Queen celebrates 70 years on the throne.
The royal pair visited the set back in March, meeting the cast and likes of Danny Dyer – who once found himself to be around 147,000th in line to the throne.
Danny said: "Very random to see the royals, you know, up close they were very charming, really chatty, they’ve got mad faces when you’re close."
Camilla also chatted to Strictly Come Dancing winner and actress Rose Ayling-Ellis.
Rose revealed Camilla told her she had voted for her during her Strictly stint.
She said: "It was really funny because she’s a huge fan of Strictly Come Dancing and she mentioned that she voted for me which is so lovely, and her grandchildren watch it."
So when is the royal EastEnders cameo?

Prince Charles and Camilla will be on EastEnders as part of a special episode on June 2 at 7:30pm.
The episode will air on BBC One on the special bank holiday weekend and is part of the broadcaster's own celebrations of the landmark event.
The pair join notable cameo role holders like Spice Girl Emma Bunton, Robbie Williams and current Prime Minister and then London mayor Boris Johnson.
In the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year, few things could be more British than the future king galloping around Albert Square asking residents: "You want some, do ya? Eh?"
Sadly, we expect this is not part of the script and it is unlikely the Duchess of Cornwall will be pushing anyone called Barry off a cliff.
Which royals will be on EastEnders?
It will be just Prince Charles and Camilla on EastEnders on June 2 and it was only recently confirmed they would be making a cameo appearance at all.
They visited the set in March, meeting the likes of Dyer and Kellie Bright, who plays onscreen wife Linda Carter.
Kellie said: "It was just a really special moment. I mean everybody has gone through a pandemic the last few years, it is just a nice thing to be able to do something like this again."
Natalie Cassidy, famous for playing Sonia Fowler, added: "I said [to Prince Charles] I’ve been here for a long time, since 1993, 29 years on and off, and he said: ‘Oh wow, how amazing’ and he said: ‘You were so small, how did you feel when you got here?’
"I just said 'sometimes it’s easier being 10, you don’t really know what you’re coming into', and we had a bit of a laugh and he was really, really lovely. Actually Camilla, although I didn’t meet and greet her, she actually came over and made a beeline to me to say: ‘I know you, you’ve been in it a long time haven’t you?’ so that was really sweet."
