Pakistani mangoes are famous worldwide and it seems that even the Queen is a fan.

The 90-year-old arrived at the Edinburgh Waverley railway station ahead of Holyrood Week on Friday with loads of luggage, including boxes of mangoes sent to her by Bilawal House.

And going by the look on the gentleman's face, we are assuming the mangoes are big and juicy.

Definitely a big moment for Pakistan and the Bhutto-Zardaris who didn't shy away from boasting about it.

The @RoyalFamily clearly likes my mangoes.So pleased! Ps @DailyMailUK it's Pakistani not Indian. Ours r obvs better. https://t.co/gOP3NnTpgT

What irked them was the Daily Mail calling their mangoes "Indian fruit"

Those aren't Indian but our very own Sindhri mangoes! #RoyalDelivery #BilawalHouse 🇵🇰 https://t.co/lH8Ar7LN9x

Afee | 8 years ago | Reply @AD: Go back in your cave, There are more than 200 well established varieties of mangoes grown in Pakistan and hundreds of new come at display in mango festivals annually. Same goes with other fruits. Be appreciative not jealous.

Ch. Allah Daad | 8 years ago | Reply It is a great friendly gesture to improve good relations but cowards and jealous will not hide their true colours.

AD | 8 years ago | Reply Pakistan in it self is product of India. There is no variety of mangoes invented by Pakistan after partition.

leela4fun | 8 years ago | Reply Thank God, those were not cases of exploding mangoes!

sss | 8 years ago | Reply once a slave always a slave...and this is no news, specially what a 90 year old woman eats and she is not our queen...get your facts right ....idiotic newspaper

Haji Atiya | 8 years ago | Reply Yet the English, in particular the elite, have an odd way of consuming mangoes with an overplay of using utensils instead of the desi hands-on approach... Most of the pleasure and taste of eating a juicy mango is extinguished if one adopts their style. But don't get me started on shipments from Bilawal House; that's another story altogether !
