Slice of Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ Wedding Cake Up for Auction

After Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s royal wedding in 1981, this cake slice was given to Moyra Smith, a member of the Queen Mother’s household at Clarence House, who preserved it by wrapping up and keeping it inside an old floral cake tin. The lid of this tin reads, “Handle with Care – Prince Charles & Princess Diane’s [sic] Wedding Cake.” Smith kept the slice till 2008.

It was then sold to a collector who is now selling it. A BBC report claims that this cake slice can fetch up to £500 at auction. This means, that the 40-year-old cake slice can cost close to Rs 52,000. The auction will be held on August 11.
