This piece of aristocratic cake<\/strong> was found in a suitcase under a bed 77 years ago<\/strong>. Now, it has just sold at auction for more than $2,800<\/strong>, having been estimated to be worth around $650. The original cake was served to 2,000 guests at the wedding of the then Princess Elizabeth<\/strong> and Prince Philip<\/strong> on 20 November 1947, and was a gift from Marion Polson<\/strong>, housekeeper at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh between 1931 and 1969.<\/p>\n\n\n

She would receive a small piece as a thank you for buying the newlyweds a colossal cake, which, according to the BBC, consisted of four tiers and contained alcohol<\/strong>. Polson would keep it as a great heirloom until his death in the 1980s, hiding it under a bed with some of his belongings. The cake was still in its original presentation box and came with a letter from the Queen, dated November 1947.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polson’s family contacted Reeman Dansie<\/strong> earlier this year, and Grinter said Polson’s piece of cake was the first to be sold \u2018intact\u2019. A Chinese bidder would get his hands on this \u2018very rare\u2019 piece of cake, which went on display at the exclusive auction house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
