A LARGE slice of Charles and Diana’s five-tiered wedding cake is for sale 40 years after they married.
The impressive portion is decorated with a royal coat of arms in red, blue and gold.
It was given to Moyra Smith, one of the Queen Mother’s employees at Clarence House, after the 1981 ceremony.
The 8in by 7in slice has been preserved in cling film in a cake tin.
It was kept by Moyra’s family until 2008 when it was acquired by a collector who is selling it next month with auctioneer Dominic Winter, in Cirencester, Gloucs.
It is expected to fetch £500.
Chris Albury, the auctioneer’s royal memorabilia expert, said: “It’s a curious and unique keepsake.

I still wouldn’t recommend eating it but after 40 years it’s clearly destined to last.”
The cake has survived considerably longer than the marriage — the royal couple divorced in 1996.
