Prince William married his university girlfriend on 29 April 2011

It’s been 13 whole years since Prince William and Kate Middleton’s fairytale wedding at Westminster Abbey.

Nearly 25 million people in the UK tuned in to watch the future king marry his university sweetheart in what was the biggest royal event of the year.

William and Kate became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge upon their marriage and over the years, we’ve seen the pair blossom in their roles as they prepare for their future as King and Queen.

Over the last 13 years, the couple have welcomed three children – Prince George, ten, Princess Charlotte, eight, and six-year-old Prince Louis.

While William and Kate, who became the Prince and Princess of Wales in September 2022, have supported one another through the highs and lows throughout the years.

They have often expressed their pride at one another’s work and have engaged in the odd subtle PDA – from kisses to hand holding.

Take a look back at their most loved-up moments as we mark their anniversary.
