Prince Charles is toasting Queen Elizabeth's record-breaking reign in the most British way possible: by raising a cup of tea!
The Prince of Wales, 73, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, 74, joined thousands of royal revelers at London's Oval Cricket Ground on Sunday for a Big Jubilee Lunch in honor of his mother's 70-year rule.
Charles and Camilla also cut a special Big Jubilee cake and viewed a unique felt art piece created by Lucy Sparrow depicting a celebratory tea party of Platinum Jubilee Pudding, scotch eggs and fruit platters.
The Big Jubilee Lunch is a special 2022 version of the U.K.s annual Big Lunch initiative, which sees thousands of people come together each year over "a cuppa" and a bite to eat.

More than 85,000 people across the U.K. have signed up to take part in this year's Jubilee event, with tea parties being held throughout the Commonwealth and beyond — from Canada to Brazil, New Zealand to Japan and South Africa to Switzerland.

Together with an estimated 16,000 other street parties, it's expected that between 10-12 million Brits will take to the streets on Sunday to wave a Union Jack and raise a glass — generally containing something far stronger than Charles' tea.
"Between 10 to 12 million people is a modest estimate in terms of the scale of participation, and that's testament to the community spirit and appetite for connection we know is out there," Big Jubilee director Peter Stewart told Sky News ahead of the event.

"Holding your own event isn't hard — just knock on your neighbors' doors, grab some nibbles and hang the bunting!"
Sunday's event isn't the first Big Jubilee Lunch that Charles and Camilla have attended. On Thursday the royals made their soap opera debuts in a special edition of the long-running BBC drama Eastenders, where they joined the cast for tea and cake in a fictional area of London known as "Albert Square."
On Saturday night, Charles and Camilla joined the royal family for a star-studded "Party at the Palace" concert. The Prince of Wales delivered an emotional speech in honor of his mother the Queen.

"Your Majesty, Mummy," he began. "The scale of this evening's celebration – and the outpouring of warmth and affection over this whole Jubilee weekend – is our way of saying thank you – thank you from your family, the country, the Commonwealth, in fact the whole world."
The four-day celebration will conclude on Sunday afternoon with the Platinum Jubilee Pageant, a procession through the streets of London that will showcase iconic moments from the Queen's reign as well as highlight how society has changed over the past 70 years.
