Many brides and grooms through the years have followed the tradition of freezing part of their wedding cake and eating it on their first anniversary, but one royal staffer took things to the next level (and forgot the whole freezer aspect) when it came to some gifted cake.
A piece of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's 1947 royal wedding cake was recently auctioned off for £2,200 (roughly $2,800) after the family of a former royal housekeeper found it "under a bed in a suitcase," per the BBC. The 77-year-old pastry was sent to Marion Polson, who worked at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland at the time of the wedding.
