Thirteen months ago, Meghan Markle’s cryptic Instagram post of two bananas “cuddling” signalled the start of her whirlwind romance with Prince Harry.

The picture – accompanied by the message “sleep tight” and two kisses – sent fans into overdrive as they speculated that it was likely a symbol of their long-distance love.

Now, it seems, the fruit is set to play a central role in their wedding too.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal that the couple, who announced their engagement last week, are planning on marking their big day with a wedding cake made from bananas.

“This will be the first royal wedding cake made from bananas”, a source close to the couple told The Telegraph.

As well as acting as a symbol for their affection, Prince Harry is said to love “anything with banana”.

His former royal chef, Darren McGrady, has previously spoken about making the young Prince a caramel and banana cake.

He cooked for the Prince and his brother until the death of their mother Princess Diana in 1997, liaising with her about what he was serving up on a daily basis.

In a separate interview with Hello! magazine, he said Prince Harry along with his brother, the Duke of Cambridge, “loved banana flan, anything with banana really, banana ice cream”.
