Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary on April 29, 2024. To mark the occasion, they shared a never-before-seen photograph from their wedding day on social media. The black-and-white image shows the couple smiling at each other as Kate holds her bouquet of lily of the valley and Queen Elizabeth's Cartier Halo Tiara adorns her head. Prince William is seen wearing his Blues and Royals uniform.
The photograph was taken by Millie Pilkington, one of Princess Kate's favorite photographers. The couple exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, and were given the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge by Queen Elizabeth on their wedding day.
Princess Kate underwent abdominal surgery in January for a planned procedure but was later diagnosed with cancer. King Charles III also received a cancer diagnosis during a procedure for his benign prostate enlargement. Queen Margrethe II of Denmark abdicated the throne and handed it over to her son, now known as King Frederik the 10th.
The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma and had previously undergone a single mastectomy to treat breast cancer. The royal family has kept a low profile during this time, with Princess Kate focusing on her recovery.
Prince William and Kate met at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2001 and wed on April 29, 2011. They have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
