Princess Diana and Prince Charles's wedding cake FOR SALE - slice costs THIS much

The piece of cake, put up for sale by Channel 4’s Posh Pawn team, is from Charles and Diana’s wedding in 1981.

The slice comes from a tier that was stored after the wedding and issued to soldiers who were injured in the Falklands War to celebrate the christening of Prince William in 1982.

The piece of fruitcake is worth a fortune despite no longer being edible.

James Constantinou, owner of Prestige Pawnbrokers from Channel 4’s Posh Pawn, said the item is “one of the most unusual pieces” they have for sale.

Mr Constantinou said: “One of the most unusual pieces that Prestige has to serve is in fact a piece of cake. A lovely slice of history that could be yours for £695.

“This fruitcake with cream cheese frosting was part of Princess Diana’s original wedding cake in 1981 and comes wrapped up in an ornamental doily in a box.

“A tier of the cake was stored away for a year after the wedding and issued to soldiers who were wounded in the Falklands War to celebrate the christening of Prince William.

“The cake is stored in suitable conditions however it is no longer edible.

“These pieces of cake have seen a huge result amongst auction houses in America with lots achieving more than £1,000. This combined with the death of Princess Diana in 1997 has led to a higher demand within the memorabilia market.”

And Mr Constantinou added that royal memorabilia can be worth thousands of pounds.

He said: “Auction houses often unearth some very interesting items that that are not always so readily available and give great insight in to the personal lives of these seemingly untouchable characters.

“Letters and even short notes from royals often reveal a story and can be endearing, such items often come up for sale and can make thousands of pounds.”

It comes after goodie bags given to guests at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s royal wedding earlier this month emerged for sale on eBay for hundreds of pounds just hours after the event.
