You can now buy honey from The Queen Consort's own garden
Fortnum and Mason have launched a special honey made from beehives situated on The Queen Consort's own estate in Wiltshire.
The jars of honey are now available to buy from Fortnum and Mason for £40, with all profits going towards the charity Mirabel, supported by The Queen Consort.
According the retailer, the honey blends "zesty citrus with subtle herby notes – and a wonderful aroma that’s reminiscent of freshly-cut hay."
The delicate taste is thanks to the bees living around and foraging from a "wildly-grown corner" of The Queen Consort’s Wiltshire estate which is home to "bittersweet Hawthorn hedgerows," and "flowering lime trees."
The honey is from Fortnum's Queen Consort range, a selection of special products inspired by the royal, which is part of a wider coronation collection.
The full collection includes commemorative plates and teacups, special teas and biscuits, plus decadent hampers and other keepsakes.
