There are a lot of Google entries about this.  Here's just one from the delish site:

Yes, there's that slightly herby flavor you'd get from edible flowers, but elderflower's sweeter than you'd expect — and a little musky. It's closer to lychee in flavor, and it has a crisp, palate-cleansing finish.

If you think about how blueberries add a sweet-tart flavor to a lemon muffin or scone, that's exactly what elderflower's doing in the royal couple's cake. Only it adds a delicate floral flavor, too.
