The cake was sold to an unknown collector[AP]

William is moving with his family to the countryside residence, where he and Kate Middleton will raise their son, Prince George, for perhaps the next two years.

It’s where William and his brother, Prince Harry, spent a lot of time as children, so naturally William would like George to experience country life as he once did.

But it won’t all involve kicking back and enjoying life away from London—William will take a job as a helicopter pilot with East Anglian Air Ambulance in spring 2015, and will be donating his salary to charity.
