EastEnders fans spotted the disappearance of a key prop ahead of Prince Charles and Camilla visiting for their Jubilee cameo.The Queen Vic in Walford is known for its iconic portrait of Princess Diana, set against a white backdrop and with the princess looking regal as ever in a high-collared white gown.This week, however, the portrait disappeared - just ahead of Charles and Camilla dropping in for the upcoming Jubilee party.But in episodes transmitting this week, Vic owner Mick Carter - played by Danny Dyer - is busy dressing the pub for the Platinum Jubilee street party.Fans were quick to point out that the portrait of Diana shad vanished, despite being seen in the background as Mick discussed the party with Kathy Beale and Sonia Fowler, intending to ask the council if he can close the Square off.In the next shot, Mick could be seen holding a portrait of the Queen and informing Kathy that he wants to put it up ‘there’ - where the Diana portrait had been just moments before.Baffled fans took to social media to share their thoughts, with one writing: “I’ve just seen the pic of Diana in the Vic. Has it really been removed?”“Since the Carters moved inside the Vic there was a picture of Princess Diana on the wall.

EastEnders will know there has been a Branning family in the BBC One soap for decades now.But it’s fair to say tensions started to rise in Watford when Max Branning – played by Jake Wood – and his beautiful family rolled into town back in 2006.The red-headed womaniser brought along his two daughters Lauren and Abi with his son Bradley soon rocking up at number 5 Albert Square.And shortly after their arrival in the town, the family soon caused chaos on the long-standing show where at least one Branning family member became embroiled in almost every plot on the show.Throughout their time on the show, the family have had their fair share of explosive arguments and sordid love affairs before they gradually left the show in a string of shocking exits.After 15 years on the show, Jake left the legacy of the Branning family down to his onscreen brother Jack – played by Scott Maslen – who continues to fly the flag in Watford.Now Daily Star has taken a deep dive into what happened to the rest of the Branning clan and where the actors who played the beloved characters are now.Max left the show after he revealed Mick Carter’s abuse hell to his wife Linda and accused her of staying with the pub landlord rather than starting a relationship with him out of pity.It was at this point that Mick flew into a violent rage as he flung Max halfway across the room before he threatened to kill him.Mick told Linda that the pair couldn’t move on in their marriage with Max around which pushed the blonde belle to force Max out of the village and never speak to her again as she makes it clear that her heart lies with Mick.Jake Wood said his final goodbye to the iconic London square back in February 2021 after he decided to take the plunge and delve

Kellie Bright has starred in EastEnders for almost a decade but she looks set to be leaving Walford for good after last night's episode.

EastEnders fans were overwhelmed to see Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) show off her new wave of confidence after she “played Janine at her own game” in Albert Square.During Wednesday’s (May 18) instalment of the beloved BBC One soap, loyal viewers watched tensions rise in Watford after Mick Carter’s ex-wife took a stand against his new fling Janine Butcher (Charlie Brooks).Since the scheming blonde bombshell hooked up with the owner of the Queen Vic, it’s fair to say Janine has been desperate to get his ex to move out and even offered her £25,000 to uproot herself from the beloved London town.Viewers were left baffled after the manipulative new lover appeared to pull out the staggering sum of money seemingly from nowhere, with many fans of the show convinced that the eye-watering price was an obvious plot hole missed by BBC bosses.But it’s fair to say bosses hadn’t overlooked the jaw-dropping the price after bosses raised the stakes when the loving mum demanded more money for leaving her life behind her. After she managed to double her rate to £50,000, EastEnders fans hailed the cunning star for “playing Janine at her own game”.

EastEnders viewers have been left understandably confused after Janine Butcher, played by Charlie Brooks, revealed she has thousands of pounds in the bank. The mum-of-one returned to the Square last year with nowhere to live and unemployed, and managed to bag a job at the Queen Victoria to make ends meet.
