Hard to believe it’s already been five years! April 29 marks the fifth wedding anniversary for Kate Middleton and Prince William.
On this date in 2011, the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge had their widely publicized royal wedding at Westminster Abbey
in London as the world watched. The fashion-forward Middleton wore a
now-iconic Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen long-sleeve lace wedding
gown as her proud hubby donned his official red uniform. (And who could
forget Pippa Middleton’s stunning display as maid of honor and Prince
Harry’s adorable role as Best Man?!)
Five years and two adorable children later the couple have made a lot of memories with their family and in their royal duties.
They attended the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which London hosted, cheering on their country’s athletes from the stands.
In July 2013 they welcomed their first-born son,
Prince George, stepping out of the hospital to greet their subjects and
present the little boy to the world. Almost two years later in May 2015,
Princess Charlotte joined the family to the delight of Royalists
everywhere.
Prior to the little girl’s arrival the couple
brought a young George with them on the Royal Tour of Australia and New
Zealand, where he stole hearts all over the world, playing in his mom’s
arms and greeting animals at the zoo.
“I take my duties and my responsibilities to my
family very seriously,” Prince William said in a recent interview with
BBC. “I want to bring my children up as good people… if I can’t give my
time to my children as well, I worry about their future.”
Even without their kids, William and Kate have
enjoyed themselves, trying out magic wands at the Harry Potter studios
with Prince Harry in 2013 and most recently going on the Royal Tour of
India and Bhutan.
They also recently hosted President Barack and
First Lady Michelle Obama on their visit to England, where a pajama-clad
Prince George greeted the president.
After all their recent public events, Kate and
William are having a private anniversary, but on Friday the Kensington
Palace Twitter account posted several throwback videos and photos from
their special wedding day.
