This charming image whisks us back to that magical day on April 29, 2011, when the couple exchanged vows in the iconic Westminster Abbey, surrounded by family and friends.
Catherine’s entrance was nothing short of breathtaking.
Dressed in a stunning bespoke Alexander McQueen gown, she glided down the aisle to the uplifting strains of Sir Hubert Parry’s “I Was Glad,” proudly escorted by her father, Michael Middleton.
It was a scene that felt like it was pulled straight from a fairy tale.
Adding to the enchantment was Catherine’s sister, Pippa Middleton, who took on the role of bridesmaid with grace, expertly managing the flowing train of the bride’s gown.
The ceremony was a star-studded affair, attended by esteemed members of the Royal Family, including the late Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, who watched on with pride as the couple tied the knot.
Fast forward to today, and the Prince and Princess of Wales took to social media to unveil this treasured snapshot, capturing a moment filled with joy and royal charm.
In the photograph, the newlyweds stand close together, with the Prince affectionately wrapping his arm around his bride.
Catherine radiates happiness, clutching her exquisite floral bouquet, her smile as captivating as it was on that unforgettable day.
Millie Pilkington, the couple’s wedding photographer, expressed her delight at the resurfacing of this cherished memory.
She commented on the post, marveling at how quickly time has flown and extending her warm wishes, saying, “Happy Wedding Anniversary!
Can’t believe it’s been 13 years!

In an emotional video message, she shared how comforting it is to have William by her side, stating, “Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance.”
Their bond has certainly been tested, yet it has emerged even stronger through these trials.
Royal commentators have noted the significant impact of Catherine’s health journey on their relationship.
