Queen ignores advice and chooses sword over knife to slice cake

The 95-year-old Monarch carried out a rare joint engagement with the Duchesses of Cambridge and Cornwall at the Eden Project in Cornwall today. The three most-senior royal women attended the event in celebration of The Big Lunch, which will form part of the Queen's platinum jubilee celebrations in 2022. The Queen was presented with a large cake and was handed a sword (pictured) by Edward Bolitho, the Lord-Lieutenant of Cornwall, to cut it. When told by an aide that there was a conventional knife available, the Queen replied: 'I know there is, this is more unusual'. The Duchess of Cornwall commented: 'That's slicing through' before assisting with the final part of cutting the cake - which was loudly applauded by those at the event. After handing the ceremonial sword back, the Queen used a knife to cut a second slice of cake and remarked: 'That looks very good.'
