London: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding cake has taken six bakers five days to prepare and breaks with tradition, according to its designer Claire Ptak.
Harry, Queen Elizabeth's grandson, and US actress Markle will tie the knot on Saturday (UK time) in Windsor Castle's 15th-century St George's Chapel.

The couple decided to buck the royal tradition for fruitcake and instead opted for a lemon and elderflower creation with buttercream icing, topped with fresh flowers.
