JAKARTA - King Charles and Queen Camilla cut a birthday cake with a sword while attending the 25th anniversary of the Eden Project in Cornwall, England, Tuesday, March 24.
According to a report by PEOPLE, quoted Wednesday, March 25, Charles, 77, and Camilla, 78, borrowed a sword from Colonel Sir Edward Bolitho to cut the cake made by Cornwall-based cake maker Niki Lowe. However, the moment did not go smoothly. The dense sponge cake made it difficult for the two of them to split it.
In a video shared by Daily Mail royal reporter Rebecca English, Charles and Camilla were seen laughing as they pressed the sword into the cake together. After the first piece was successful, the audience applauded. Charles then joked by making a gesture as if stabbing the cake, while Camilla laughed as she lifted the sword full of cream.
The moment reminded of the late Queen Elizabeth, who also insisted on cutting the cake with a sword when visiting the Eden Project in 2021.
During the visit, Charles also recalled the major changes to the Eden Project since he first came. According to The Independent, he said the place was empty, then developed into a large environmental complex in a former clay mine, complete with two enclosed biomes and an outdoor garden.
Charles and Camilla also helped promote the volunteer program The Big Help Out, which invites British citizens to participate in environmentally friendly activities such as gardening together and cleaning up garbage in the surrounding area. The two also inaugurated a plaque to mark the 25th anniversary of the facility.
In addition, the royal couple tried a wooden marble track of more than 300 feet made from trees that fell due to a winter storm in Cornwall. According to GB News, Charles joked while rolling his marbles.
After the Eden Project, Charles and Camilla continued their agenda to St. Austell and met with community groups at the Holy Trinity Church. However, the agenda did not go smoothly. According to the BBC, a number of people outside the church shouted questions about what the royal family knew about former Prince Andrew's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
