At symbol not cancelling double quotes?

Question

why is var sydney = new Countries() { Name = @"<Image Source="Coors.jpeg" /> Sydney" };

flagging at the Coors.jpeg with syntax error, comma expected.

When you use verbatim string (@) you need to use double double quotes for double quotes. — Cetin Basoz, Nov 26 '19 at 17:32
`@` escapes backslashes, not quotes; if it escaped quotes how would you end the string? To escape a quote, double it; `@" Sydney"`. — Dour High Arch, Nov 26 '19 at 17:33

As I said in my comment when using verbatim string you need to double the double quotes. ie:

var sydney = new Countries() { Name = @"<Image Source=""Coors.jpeg"" /> Sydney" };
