Fans of the Royal family are being given the chance to purchase themselves a piece of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's wedding cake.

The slice of history is going up for auction on June 2nd and is one of 22 other cakes made for the event – not the official five-tier masterpiece.

According to the Bournemouth Echo, the cake is still in its original presentation box and was given to the seller as they were a member of the Royal Household at the ceremony 28 years ago.

Also up for grabs are two of Princess Diana's personally signed Christmas cards from 1994 and 1995.

John Condie from auction house Cottees said: "We will be hoping for more international interest in these items and there is still time for anyone with similar items to enter them into the auction."

The concept of a wedding cake dates back to the Roman Empire and over time, many traditions surrounding the iced treat have come and gone.
