Thursday 29th April marks an incredible 10 years since The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got married at Westminster Abbey in London, expressing their love for each other during the stunning ceremony.
To mark the big milestone, the Royal Family have released two stunning snaps of Prince William and Kate, looking very relaxed and happy in each other's arms in the grounds of Kensington Palace.
The first photo, titled with the caption: 'Taken this week ahead of The Duke and Duchess’ 10th wedding anniversary', shows Kate resting her head on William's shoulder as the pair smile into the camera.
The second photo, which was also taken by Royal photographer Chris Floyd, shows William gazing into his wife's eyes as she looks into the distance with a beaming smile on her face.
After meeting at University, Prince William and Kate first started dating way back in 2003, with the pair announcing their engagement in 2010.
The following year, the world watched on as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge tied the knot at the most stunning ceremony held at Westminster Abbey, with the happy couple's closest family and friends in attendance, including Prince Harry, The Queen, Prince Charles, and Kate's sister Pippa Matthews (née Middleton).
Two years after the ceremony, Prince William and Kate announced they were expecting their first child together, with their son Prince George being welcomed into the world in July 2013.
The couple then welcomed their first daughter, Princess Charlotte, in May 2015, before Kate gave birth to their youngest son, Prince Louis, in April 2018.
