Prince William surprises Dame Mary Berry with birthday message as the baking queen turns 90

His message was shown during The One Show: Dame Mary Berry, A Celebration at 90.

She was busy chatting to hosts Alex Jones and Roman Kemp about her life and career when they said a special someone wanted to wish her all the best.

In his message, William, who with wife Kate joined Dame Mary for A Berry Royal Christmas on BBC One in 2019, said: “Hi Mary. I want to wish you a very happy 90th birthday. You are a true national treasure and we’ve loved working with you.

“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.”;

Mary, made a Dame Commander by Wills in 2021, was overjoyed but also moved to tears by the emotion and shock.

Other guests included Claudia Winkleman and former The Great British Bake Off presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.

Dame Mary left Bake Off in 2016 when it quit the BBC for ­Channel 4. Wills’ message was also played on Scott Mills’ BBC Radio 2 show yesterday.

Among those posting best wishes were TV chef Jamie Oliver. On Instagram, he wrote: “Happy 90th Birthday to the one and only @DameMaryBerry!! I think I can safely say on behalf of all of us, you are a true inspiration!!”;

Dame Mary, a household name for her recipes and ­baking tips, has written more than 80 cookery books.
