Fortnum and Mason is selling handful of Coronation boiled sweets for £75 - more expensive than its champagne

Fortnum and Mason is selling a handful of boiled sweets for King Charles' Coronation for £75.

The posh shop, favourited by the royals, are flogging just 100g of the 'Rose Sweets' at the cost-of-living-crisis busting price.

It comes as millions of Brits are struggling with their weekly shopping bills amid rocketing inflation.

It is being sold as part of the F&M's Coronation collection.

It also comes in a pink gift box that reads: "In celebration of the Coronation of HM King Charles III"

They are also selling a two-handled mug for a staggering £225.
