It was very naive to think that this slice would stay within the modest demarcation limits set for it, but even we were surprised

The British Royal Family has provided us over the years with quite a few scandals and scandals, juicy and heartbreaking gossip, bizarre hallucinations and dramatic affair, and at least one masterpiece series.
Now is the time to put a cherry on this cultural whipped cream.
Or, if you will, icing on the cake.

A food
auction held today (Thursday) in London transferred control of the dessert from its rightful owners to a buyer who defined himself as an ardent supporter of the royal institution.
This worldview, legitimate or not, led to the purchase of the same sweet slice at £ 1,850 (plus a 20% commission of course).
We will repeat this again, with the gate presented in favor of the dramatic emphasis - a piece of cake for about NIS 8,250.
There are things, apparently, that only Diana can do.

"Just Do Not Taste": A TV report on the auction
This is, well, a "big" piece of festive marzipan cake, but not as festive as one might expect. This tall dessert construction was one of 23 wedding cakes that graced the "Wedding of the Century" exactly 40 years ago, but it turns out that its survivability is of great value.
It weighs about 800 grams, displays some of the edible decoration of royal symbols, and was originally given to Moira Smith, one of the workers at the Clarence House, a residence of Elizabeth in Wes-Lyon, Queen Elizabeth's mother.
Smith kept the cake in cling film and tin, and her family sold it in 2008 to a collector. The current auction, which opened with modest expectations of a sale of a few hundred pounds, has gained momentum and stopped at a fantastic price tag. "We were very surprised by the number of people who attended the event and competed for the purchase," admitted the manager of the London auction house, detailing that most of those interested came from the UK, the United States and the Middle East.

The mythical wedding took place at St Paul's Cathedral in London in late July 1981. Less than 4,000 guests attended the event (including someone with a restrained crave for sweets and a highly developed business sense, it turns out), and hundreds of millions accompanied him in front of the screen.
This relationship, destructive and deadly almost from day one, has officially survived 14 years, and much less in practice.
The cake, it seemed, held up much longer.
Along with it, by the way, were also packed a printed plan of the event, the breakfast menu that accompanied it and also the official table arrangement that came out of Buckingham Palace.
"The cake is obviously in very good condition, just like on the day it was first sold," the auction house explained, "but we strongly recommend not tasting it."
The buyer himself, a private collector from Leeds named Gary Layton, said he intends to add it to his royal house collection and bequeath it to charity when the day comes.
"I have always been a monarchist," he explained.
