Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Want a Banana Wedding Cake, & The Reason Why Is Nothing Short of Romantic

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement last week, so wedding preparations are in full swing. I assume the royal couple has a lot on their plate, but one detail of the special day is already decided on: the cake. A source told The Telegraph that the couple wants a banana-flavored wedding cake, PEOPLE reports, and the reason behind the choice will make you fall even more in love with them.

Prince Harry and his princess-to-be had fans desperately wondering “are they or aren’t they?” before the couple officially confirmed their relationship last year. Shortly after their budding romance went public, Meghan posted an adorable photo of two bananas spooning on her Instagram. She captioned the charming post, “Sleep tight xx,” seemingly telling fans that, yes, the rumors were true. 

Over a year later, the couple is set to wed with a cake that pays homage to Meghan’s very first public post about their relationship. How romantic! Also, Harry reportedly loves “anything with banana,” but that’s just the icing on the cake (pun intended) of this sweet selection.

As PEOPLE points out, the banana cake is different from the top tier British fruit cake that is traditionally served at royal weddings. The duo may not be the most traditional of couples at Buckingham Palace, but they might just be the cutest.
