Yeah I'm still confused how it's a diplomatic incident.
It's the same story that as a representative of the BRF Meghan should fully embrace its customs and traditions. Even if there's some question as to how much of a tradition fruitcake still is in British culture in general or the BRF (see: Edward/Sophie). It's all part of the Meghan as outsider/rule breaker media narrative.
In some ways I get it. If Meghan picks a non-British designer for her wedding dress all hell will break loose. I just didn't think cake merited this level of debate. In my mind, she's giving up enough to show she's embracing her new family and country. I'm fine if she wants to draw the line at refusing to serve bad cake.
