The Prince and Princess of Wales celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary on 29th April with a sweet family photo posted on Instagram, showing the couple lying on grass in the English countryside with their three children and dog. The caption read: 'Celebrating 15 years of marriage,' accompanied by a red heart emoji.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl told OK! magazine that William and Kate are not an over-the-top couple and prefer not to make a big fuss with ostentatious gifts. Instead, they are 'very romantic' and will mark the moment in a sentimental way, likely involving family time or a private trip.
Another royal expert, Richard Palmer, commented on the couple's lasting marriage, noting that the wider royal family does not have a great record for long-lasting marriages, but William and Kate have found something special. He suggested they might celebrate with a private family holiday to a meaningful location, possibly Africa or Mustique, and could involve Kate's parents, Carole and Michael, who have been a big part of their life together.
Prince William once joked about a gift-giving mishap, revealing he bought Kate a pair of binoculars early in their courtship, which she never let him forget. The couple married at Westminster Abbey on 29th April 2011, having met as students at the University of St Andrews in 2001.
