KATE MIDDLETON & PRINCE WILLIAM

Prince William and Kate Middleton captivated the globe almost a decade ago when they married in a royal wedding for the ages. Will and Kate’s lavish April 29, 2011 wedding was the crowning achievement of a decade-long romance that reads like a fairy tale. It goes like this: A small-town girl with self-made parents meets a lovely prince at college, and they live happily ever after. It sounds untrue, but this is real life.

After enrolling in 2001, both Kate and William completed their undergraduate degrees at the Scottish college. The Prince famously watched Kate appear at a charity fashion show, and her stroll down the catwalk was said to pique his curiosity. They exchanged “I dos” at Westminster Abbey in front of millions of people across the world. The Queen presented the titles of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to the couple upon their marriage.
