Parents to three children – George, Charlotte and Louis, Prince William and Kate Middleton will celebrate the day with none of the fanfare of the original event. While once crowds lined the streets of London to wave on the wedding procession, the pair will enjoy the occasion from the comfort of their home in Norfolk, as the nationwide lockdown continues.
Prince William’s wedding to his former university flatmate was one of the highest profile events of 2011. Around 2,000 guests filled Westminster Abbey to see the future King marry Kate – making her an HRH, a duchess and a future queen. The grand affair featured two dresses, two receptions, a carriage procession through central London, flypasts and two kisses on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
The bride wore an intricate lace gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen for the service, while the groom was dressed in the red tunic of the Irish Guards.
