Duchess of Sussex

Baker creates a set of remarkable mince pies with the faces of the Royal Family – can you guess which of their royal Pie-nesses is which?


Her savoury sovereigns went viral after appearing in the Daily Mail earlier this year – and even won her a royal seal of approval.

But for a Christmas treat, Jackie Marshall has gone one better – and turned the extended Royal Family into a set of very special mince pies.

King Charles, Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales and even the estranged Duke and Duchess of Sussex have all – finally – been reunited on Mrs Marshall’s kitchen table in Swaffham, Norfolk.

She spent three days baking and decorating the eye-catching shortcrust pasty creations last week.

Mrs Marshall admitted: ‘I really wanted to do them proud. I’m not entirely sure I have, though!’

For Harry’s look-alike pie she created his red hair and beard using strings of ‘sour’ strawberry sweets.

While Meghan’s features hair made from an unravelled liquorice catherine wheel and earrings made from Smarties.

‘I had high hopes for Queen Camilla and was really hopeful she would turn out nice,’ adds Mrs Marshall, 65. ‘So I decorated her with crushed meringues.’

The King, meanwhile, had his hair made from flaked rice.

‘Out of all of them, I think he turned out the best,’ she added. ‘He was, actually, the easiest to do.’

Catherine was deemed particularly challenging because of how beautiful she is, while Prince William’s pastry recreation possibly bears more resemblance to his uncle, Prince Edward.

Shortly after the Mail’s photographer had finished his shoot he and Mrs Marshall enjoyed the Princess of Wales – with a generous helping of clotted cream.

The rest of the royals are going in the freezer and will be brought out at Christmas for her family to dine on.

Mrs Marshall’s pastries shot to fame back in the summer after she entered a King Charles pie at the Sandringham Flower Show.

The regal bake was spotted by Queen Camilla, who was particularly impressed by the pie’s resemblance to her husband.

Fortunately Charles did indeed see the funny side, chuckling and joking: ‘Looks like something out of Wallace and Gromit!’

The Mail captured the moment on video and the clip went viral, with the story ending up in publications as far away as Adelaide in Australia and Germany.

Mrs Marshall – a lifelong Daily Mail and now Mail+ Editions reader – was inundated with requests for interviews and has even been awarded a prize for putting Norfolk on the map.

She said: ‘I just couldn’t believe how it took off after the Mail featured it. My granddaughter, who is 16, even called me in excitement to say that I was now ‘TikTok famous’.

‘I had no idea what was going to happen so I didn’t feel pressured at the time – but now everyone’s expecting and I had six to make!’
