Complaints about the wedding cake of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Well. If we are to believe the internet, the wedding cake of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is already causing a stir. Why? The couple (who is known for being contrary by the way) has chosen a cake that is not ‘in line’ with traditions. It is customary for British royals to opt for a fruitcake. Just the word: fruitcake. It gives me the shivers. And also traditions, by the way. What if you don't like that at all, man? It's your wedding day, after all! Do you have to choose a stiff cake with hard, white sugar flowers like Prince William and Kate Middleton?

So as Harry and Meghan have done several times in the past months: they are snickeringly choosing something different. From a friend of Meghan course. The Californian chef Claire Ptak is going to whip up a lemon/elderflower cake with fresh flowers. According to the New York Post, the two are the first royals in recent history to not serve a traditional fruitcake. And people have opinions about that. Well, I have an opinion about that too, Harry and Meghan, I think that's totally awesome. And Harry, you know it: the leftovers are always welcome at Pilotenstraat 23. Although I would prefer to come pick them up, you know. No biggie.
