Never one to do things by halves, Queen Elizabeth II showed off her sword skills Friday cutting a cake at a lunch organized by educational charity Eden Project.

The Queen smiled and joked with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall as she swapped a knife for the longer blade to slice through a cake while visiting the organizers of the Big Lunch during the G7 summit in Cornwall.

 Just before hacking the pastry, the monarch quipped, "I don't think is going to work."

The three royals were meeting local volunteers of the Cornish community to recognize their support for each other during the Covid-19 pandemic.
