How Prince Harry’s prank almost ruined Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding day

Prince Harry is known to be the prankster in the royal family, and it seems that he couldn’t help himself even on one of the most important days in the royal calendar - Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding day.

While the world watched on in awe as the Duke and Duchess’ big day appeared to go without any hitches, it seems that what went on behind the scenes was a little less smooth-sailing.

Royal cake maker Paul Courtney appeared on UK TV show Invitation to a Royal Wedding, where he explained that Harry nearly caused mayhem on the biggest royal event since Charles and Diana’s wedding in 1981.

"We’d just finished the cake on the day,” Courtney explained.

"We’d literally just put the top on and of course at that point it’s like – oh – collective sigh of relief, I think there was a tear in my eye - we’ve done it, it looks fantastic and I remember Harry came bounding in and he walked up to it and very enthusiastic.

"Harry was how you’d expect him to be, just a fun joker.

"And he walked up to it, very enthusiastic, 'Oh, wow fantastic, is this chocolate?'

"And he picked up a piece of chocolate up and ate it and then he pretended to box, with the top decoration, and we were like – 'Oh no'– … it was fun but a slightly heart stopping moment.”

With less than a month to go now until Harry’s own wedding day, it seems only fair that he gets the payback he deserves. William; your move...
