I have a piece of HRH Prince Williams Christening cake.What price did a piece of this get at auction?

Question

The pieces of christening cake were given to members of the Welsh Guards & Parachute Regiment wounded in the Falklands War. It is in an official presentation box which states ' Best wishes from the Prince & Princess of Wales on the occasion of the Christening of Prince William of Wales' There was approximately 180 pieces given out.

Answer 1

Why not ring Sotheby's or Christies, the Auction Houses in London. They sell to the richest people in the world and you can bet there's somebody out there soft brained enough and rich enough to pay a silly price. If 180 portions were issued you can bet a lot of them have disappeared over the years so yours should be pretty rare. I hope that if you do sell it for a decent price you remember to share it with the wounded soldier who won it through his courage and not just pocket the money unless, of course, you were that soldier in which case, mate, make as much as you can.

You may recall that a couple of years after the Falklands War, Mrs Thatcher saw a beggar sitting at the bottom of Downing Street as she drove past. Round his neck was a cardboard sign with 'Falklands Veteran on hard times' written on it. She ordered the driver to stop, jumped out and handed the man a crisp £20 note, saying.

"Take this for your courage and bravery."

Looking up and grinning broadly the man replied'

"Gracias Senora."

Answer 2

each and every individual is a lot less sure to persist with custom at the moment and live a better present day existence style. Prince William is wisely popular and the Royal wedding ceremony is heavily followed by technique of the clicking. hence, it may well be secure to anticipate that each and each and every individual is conscious he's a married guy after April twenty 9th. Thats an previous fashion assumption that no longer wearing a wedding ceremony band shows you're not from now on severe about your dedication on your better 0.5. human beings cheat with or with out wearing a hoop. i imagine that you're somewhat damning of Camilla. issues ensue, and individuals makes alternatives lower than pressure, like marrying, that the accurate result's both good or undesirable. yet another element, to position blame only on Camilla is previous college wondering. The mistress is a tramp and the detrimental guy is the sufferer of her evil conning procedures and the spouse (Diana) is the detrimental innocuous damsel? Its compared to Charles became a swinger, therefore, it became a dedication lengthy gone undesirable from the starting up of the courtship with Diana. provide some human beings some interest and under no circumstances lump each and every dishonest relationship into one type.
