The Coronation of King Charles III is fast approaching and is sure to be a celebration that we haven’t seen since the late Queen’s official crowning in 1953. With tens of millions likely to be watching on TV at home, along with the countless street parties and a nationwide bank holiday, many will be looking forward to enjoying the historical moment with a quintessentially British pairing – tea and cake.

With cake now on the mind, its only right that we ask perhaps the most important question of all – what cake matches the personality of the Royal Family members? To best answer this, the UK’s largest independent online cake manufacturer, Sponge.co.uk, has revealed the perfect pairings, including King Charles and the Queen Consort, the Prince and Princess of Wales – and of course Prince Harry!

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex – ginger and walnut carrot cake

Controversial no doubt, Prince Harry’s cake flavour pairing was perhaps the easiest to choose.

Harry’s personality best matches the ‘ginger and walnut carrot cake’. Not only due to his signature hair colour, but the flavour combinations in this cake are truly representative of the Duke of Sussex. Like the ginger and walnut carrot cake, Harry is undeniably a ‘fruity’ sponge with a tinge of spice at times. This one isn’t everyone’s favourite but nonetheless remains liked by many, perhaps those who prefer something a little different to the norm. You either love it or hate it!

Kate, Princess of Wales – Victoria Sponge

Often ranked as one of the most beloved and influential Royal family members, it seems only right that Kate be the ‘Victoria Sponge’ cake.

Classy, quintessentially British and universally popular – both the Victoria Sponge and the Princess of Wales would be warmly welcomed at any luncheon or afternoon tea.

William, Prince of Wales – chocolate and caramel

Our future King, whenever that may be, Prince William best suits the chocolate and caramel cake. Simply put, the two are similar in that they are smooth, soft and most importantly – reliable for any occasion.

Sarah, Duchess of York – Nutella cake

The Duchess of York, aka ‘Fergie’ is quite a character. A controversial Royal no doubt, she does however remain popular and continues to appear in various Royal events.

Like the Nutella cake, Fergie is a bit nutty and not necessarily everyone’s first choice, but anyone who has experienced meeting her will love her nonetheless. Once given a chance, both the Nutella cake and Fergie will prove a welcomed, unique choice.
