April 29th 2024.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary today. It's been a journey filled with love and happy memories for the royal couple, who tied the knot on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey after eight years of dating.
Since then, they have taken on their royal responsibilities as the Prince and Princess of Wales, traveling the world together and supporting various charitable causes. They have also welcomed three beautiful children - Prince George, who is now 10 years old, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.
But let's take a trip down memory lane and see how this love story began. It all started when a young university student caught the eye of Prince William. Kate Middleton, then 19, walked down the catwalk in a sheer dress for a charity fashion show, and William was captivated. They both attended St Andrews University in Fife and became friends, often socializing together and playing tennis. Their romance blossomed over the years, with romantic weekends spent at the Queen's Balmoral estate.
In 2007, the couple briefly split but reunited a few months later. Kate attended the Concert for Diana with the royal family and was seen canoodling with William at the after-party. Fast forward to November 2010, and the couple announced their engagement at St James's Palace, with William proposing during a romantic trip to Kenya with his late mother's sapphire and diamond engagement ring.
The grand wedding took place on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey, watched by an estimated 2 billion people around the world. It was a fairytale affair, with two dresses, two receptions, a carriage procession, flypasts, and two kisses on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
After their wedding, the couple embarked on their first official royal tour to Canada and California, followed by tours to Singapore, Malaysia, and Tuvalu as part of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. In December 2012, they announced that Kate was pregnant with their first child, Prince George, who was born in July 2013.
Two years later, Princess Charlotte joined the family, followed by Prince Louis in 2018. The family now resides in Adelaide Cottage in Windsor with their two English Cocker Spaniels, Lupo and Orla.
Throughout their thirteen years of marriage, William and Kate have taken on numerous official visits, balancing their royal duties with raising a family. They have also faced challenges, with their relationship with William's brother, Prince Harry, becoming strained in recent years.
But through it all, they have remained a strong and loving couple, supporting each other in their royal duties and personal endeavors. As they enter a new era, with William becoming the Prince of Wales and eventually king, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this power couple. Happy anniversary, William and Kate!
