Either a very devoted Princess Di fan or an adventurous eater purchased a slice of cake from the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.

In honor of Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday, there’ll be a series of exhibits dedicated to the under-appreciated style icon’s wardrobe. Out of my way I have to book a ticket on Kayak right goddamn now.
The Queen might have to pack up and relocate from Buckingham Palace—temporarily, anyway, because the old pile apparently needs millions and millions of dollars worth of renovations. Frankly, the place sounds like a dump.

A British soldier gave his nuptials some royal panache by proposing to his girlfriend at Buckingham Palace, moments after he was awarded a medal for bravery while serving in Afghanistan. Royal Marine Mark Jackson told Prince Charles his plan as he was presenting the award, then dropped down on one knee. She said yes.

French president Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni won't have to worry about whether Queen Elizabeth II thinks that they're living in sin when they visit Buckingham Palace later this month.
