No one cuts a cake quite like Queen Camilla

 

There are several things that non royals never really need to master but that actual royals need to be really rather good at and cake cutting is one of them. Most of us slice into a sponge on birthdays or at Christmas and it doesn't actually matter if we smash the thing to pieces while carving it up and it ends up in jam covered crumbs on a plate. However, if you're royal, this simple task comes with added pressures. It must be done slowly enough for people to take photos but quickly enough not to bore them to tears and you have to make it look effortless. There is little doubt that Queen Camilla is the royal cake cutter to end them all.

How bra talk ended with the loss of a royal warrant

Your average marriage certificate has two witnesses. Sometimes there are four, you might creep up to five or six but when you're a queen in waiting and your wedding is the promise of guaranteeing a royal dynasty, things are somewhat different.
