Someone Paid Way Too Much For A Slice Of The Queen's 68 Year Old Wedding Cake

Some people have more money than sense!

An unnamed woman from East Sussex whose father was at the Queen and Prince Philip’s wedding sold a slice of their 68 year old cake to an anonymous buyer in LA for £500 (around $1200 NZD).

The fruit slice was wrapped in its original baking parchment and enclosed in an ivory-coloured box, adorned with the words “Buckingham Palace 20th November 1947” and a silver “E and P.”

The small box also includes a card inscribed with: “With the best wishes of their Royal Highnesses Princess Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh.”

The burning question... is it still edible?

YEP! All due to the cake’s high alcohol content!
