- A former royal chef told Entertainment Tonight that Markle might choose a traditional American wedding cake.
Everyone is dying to know more about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding on May 19. What will her wedding dress look like? Will Ed Sheeran sing at their reception? And who's going to be on the coveted guest list?
The couple is slowly releasing more information about the big day, but some revelations — like the details of their wedding cake — have yet to be confirmed by Kensington Palace.
The Telegraph reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want a banana cake for their wedding, which is an unusual choice since the top tier of a British royal wedding cake is usually fruitcake. According to tradition, the virtually indestructible cake full of dried fruit and nuts is supposed to last until it can be served at the christening of the couple's first child.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady, who cooked for Princess Diana and her sons from 1993 to 1997, told Entertainment Tonight that Prince Harry and Prince William loved banana desserts growing up. While he doesn't think the royal couple will have a banana wedding cake, he does think it's possible that they'll choose an unconventional flavor.
"This could be the very first time where they break with tradition and don't have a traditional fruitcake," he told ET. "It wouldn't surprise me if Meghan chose a traditional American cake — a layered sponge cake — and found an American baker in London to make it."
It wouldn't be the first time that Markle paved her own way within the royal family's established traditions. You can read about all the times Markle has broken royal protocol here.
