The 13th wedding anniversary of the Prince and Princess of Wales arrives amidst a challenging period for the royal couple. Princess Kate, currently undergoing chemotherapy for an undisclosed cancer, has leaned on her husband Prince William for support during this trying time. In a heartfelt message to the public, she expressed gratitude for William’s unwavering presence, describing him as a source of comfort amid the family’s recent hardships.
Despite the princess’s health battle, the royal family remains united, spending quality time together over the Easter holidays with their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Louis recently turned six, while Charlotte is set to celebrate her ninth birthday on May 2.
In a gesture of appreciation to well-wishers and to avoid controversy surrounding digitally altered photos, William and Kate shared an unedited image of Louis on social media to mark his birthday. Meanwhile, the prince is resuming his royal duties, including visits to Earthshot Prize finalists and the opening of James’s Place—a facility offering vital support to suicidal men—in Newcastle.
William and Kate’s enduring partnership traces back to their university days at the University of St Andrews, where they first forged a friendship before blossoming into a romance. Their engagement interview reflects their shared sense of humor and mutual support, with Kate describing William as a loving and supportive partner through both joyful and challenging times.
Their fairytale wedding in 2011 at Westminster Abbey captivated the world, with Kate stunning in an ivory gown designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Since then, the couple has welcomed three children into their family and navigated the highs and lows of royal life, from jubilant celebrations to personal tragedies.
As they mark their 13th anniversary, William and Kate stand together, weathering life’s storms with grace and resilience. While the number 13 may be traditionally associated with superstition, it also symbolizes their enduring bond and commitment to each other.
