It’s not unusual for the youngest of Queen Elizabeth’s children to take a unique approach to cake cutting, but earlier this week the Duke of Edinburgh took it to the next level. During his royal visit to Ghana, Edward enthusiastically cut a massive cake in a celebration prepared by the British High Commission.
Taking to the stage as the host of the event could be heard counting down from six over a microphone, the prince appeared on great form as he waved the knife high in the air and then throwing his hand down to slice it as soon as zero was announced.
He quickly cut through the cake and immediately waved the knife in the air as the crowd cheered. Smiling as everyone around him cheered, Edward couldn’t resist tasting a bit of the frosting.
Photos of the cake-cutting ceremony, which caught the prince grimacing as he wielded the knife, received a warm reaction online, with fans branding him “the fun prince”.
