Britain's Prince Charles's 1981 wedding of the century with Diana attracted worldwide attention, and even a small piece of cake at the wedding could still be auctioned at a high price 40 years later. The cuts from the online auction came from one of the 23 official cakes of the wedding that year, and the British royal coat of arms on it was made of gold, red, blue and silver. Smith, an employee of Queen Elizabeth's Clarence Palace, received a cut of the cake that year and sealed it with preservation materials. After Smith's death, her family sold the cake to a private collector in 2008 through an auctioneer for £1,000.
After a fierce auction, the cake was auctioned by Gerry Layton from Leeds for £1,850 on the 11th. Layton said: "This cake will become part of my legacy and I will donate it to charity after I die. Auctioneers said that there were many bidders who came to inquire, mostly from the United Kingdom, the United States and several countries in the Middle East, which was surprising, "This cake looks the same as when it was originally sold, but we recommend not eating it." ”
Royal souvenir expert O'Bury said that a princess wedding cake is an irresistible souvenir of royal history for many people. Charles and Diana's wedding dated 40 years, the two were married on July 29, 1981, separated in 1992, and divorced in 1996. Princess Diana died in a car accident in 1997. Editor: Fan Jing
