Pieces of cakes from weddings of members of the British royal family will be sold at auction. Among the lots are well-preserved slices of delicacies from the festivities of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Princess Anne with Camilla Parker-Bowles, Sarah Ferguson, Captain Mark Phillips.
General excitement
This year, the Royal House of Britain is rightly called the number one newsmaker among the venerable royal families. The birth of the third heir to Prince William and Kate Middleton and the expected wedding of Prince Harry and Megan Markle warmed the already high public interest in the descendants of Queen Elizabeth II.
The American auction house Julien's Auctions decided to take advantage of the hype around the crown family, becoming the organizer of an unusual auction where you can buy pieces of history - dried slices of cakes that were served at banquets on the occasion of weddings of representatives of the British royal house, carefully kept by guests.
Interesting auctions will be held June 23 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, where you can make a purchase online.
Five lots
The greatest interest among potential auction participants was caused by a piece of cake Princess Diana and Prince Charles, whose fabulous wedding died in the summer of 1981. Rarity treat with a 37-year experience is expected to sell for 1200 dollars.
A dessert that looks like a bar of soap is packed in a snow-white box labeled "CD / Buckingham Palace / July 29, 1981", wrapped in a napkin and, alas, not edible.
Among the lots declared and a piece from the wedding cake of the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge, which is estimated at $ 800 and comes complete with an official invitation to the event.
