Alex Jones, the host of The One Show, announced the thrilling development on BBC Radio 2. The show was overwhelmed with messages for Mary, but one particular message stunned her speechless. The new Prince of Wales, Prince William, sent a personal birthday message to Dame Mary. In his note, he expressed his profound respect for her.
"I want to wish you a very happy 90th birthday. You are a true national treasure and we've loved working with you over the years." – Prince William
Over an extraordinary career, Dame Mary Berry has inspired generations – as The One Show’s birthday celebration will testify. The show features appearances from Claudia Winkleman, a close friend of Mary's, as well as Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins, Mary's former co-stars from the Great British Bake Off. One thing has connected almost all of these guests—their profound impacts on Mary’s journey. Their participation has always brought a deeply personal dimension to the celebration.
The celebration has become more than just an opportunity to celebrate a milestone, but a significant event in the celebration of friendships and professional relationships. Prince William’s message is a testament to the incredible impact Mary had in life and legacy. Then he lightened the mood and relieved the tension on the cake baker with a self-deprecating joke.
"I dread to think who's cooking your cake and the criticism they might get but good luck and I hope it goes really well." – Prince William
