What did Prince William and Kate Middleton do for their 14th anniversary?
For their 14th wedding anniversary, Prince William and Princess Kate chose to return to a place that means a lot to them. The couple first met while studying at University of St Andrews in the early 2000s.
To mark the occasion, they spent two days in Scotland with a mix of official duties and personal moments. Their visit included time in the scenic Isle of Mull and Isle of Iona, where they connected with local communities while also revisiting meaningful memories.
This year’s 15th anniversary is expected to be more low-key. Attention is currently focused on King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who are on an important visit to the United States. The royal couple traveled from the United Kingdom to Washington, DC, for a four-day state visit aimed at strengthening ties between the two countries.
