A slice of wedding cake from Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s 1981 wedding has been auctioned off for $2,565.
Twenty three cakes were made for the Royal wedding. The slice was only expected to sell for $695. It has white icing and the Royal Coat of Arms.
The slice was sent to a Royal staffer, who wrapped it in plastic and then placed it in a cake tin.
The auction also included printed Ceremonial and Order of Service programs for the wedding, which had an estimated worldwide television audience of more than 700 million people. The listing included a memorial Royal Wedding Breakfast menu and table seating program.
The auction came just a few months after Princess Diana’s sons agreed to loan her wedding dress to go on public display at Kensington Palace. A car Prince Charles gave Princess Diana as an engagement present also recently went up for auction, selling for more than £52,000 ($72,000).
