A rare slice of wedding cake from Queen Elizabeth II’s 1947 marriage to Prince Philip sold for £2,200 at auction. The 77-year-old fruit cake was discovered in a suitcase under a bed in Scotland and is notable for being the first complete piece sold. It was originally given to Marion Polson, a palace housekeeper, as a thank-you gift. Auction experts noted the cake’s unique packaging and a personal letter from the Queen, emphasizing its historical significance despite its less-than-appetizing condition.
