Queen wishes Kate Middleton and Prince William a ‘very happy’ 10th wedding anniversary

Alongside a touching photo that the couple shared last night, the Queen wrote: “Wishing The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge a very happy wedding anniversary.

“Today marks ten years since Their Royal Highnesses exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey.”

Wills and Kate, whose love story captured the nation, last night shared two new photographs together to mark the occasion. 

The first shows them beaming in the grounds of Kensington Palace – with the snap mimicking a photo taken to celebrate the couple’s engagement 11 years ago.

The second pic shows them sitting on the ground together with Kate holding his wife in his arms.

Since walking down the aisle ten years ago, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have welcomed three adorable kids and embarked on some glamorous foreign tours.

Wills and Kate tied the knot on April 29 2011 in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey that was watched by two billion people across the world. 


The couple first met while studying art history at St Andrew’s University, where the Prince fell head over heels for Kate during a charity fashion show she was modelling in.

Kate and Wills, who have stood beside one another through the ups and downs of Royal life, shared the touching snap just a day after they were pictured on their first royal engagement since December at a farm in Little Stainton, Co Durham. 

The couple laughed as they drove tractors and petted animals at the family run farm, before visiting youth charity The Cheesy Waffles Project.
