The day prior to the anniversary, Prince William visited Wales, which is a meaningful location for the royal couple. William, 43, and Kate, 44, lived in a rented home in Anglesey, Wales, for three years, including before and after their 2011 wedding.
Last year, the pair also spent their anniversary in a special place: in Scotland, the same country where they met. The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, as they are called in Scotland, had a royal outing in the town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull on April 29, 2025, where they shared some PDA and laughs as they visited the seaside destination.
Prince William and Princess Kate first met while studying at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. They dated off and on before getting engaged in 2010, then they tied the knot at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.
“When I first met Kate, I knew there was something very special about her,” Prince William said during their 2010 engagement interview. “I knew there was possibly something that I wanted to explore there. But we ended up being friends for a while, and that was a good foundation.”

“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” So said St Catherine of Siena whose festival day it is today. Marriage is intended to be a way in which man and woman help each other to become what God meant each one to be, their deepest and truest selves.”
“We stand looking forward to a century which is full of promise and full of peril. Human beings are confronting the question of how to use wisely a power that has been given to us through the discoveries of the last century. We shall not be converted to the promise of the future by more knowledge, but rather by an increase of loving wisdom and reverence, for life, for the earth and for one another.”

Look closely at the photo. There is an extra hand on Louis’ left side. This has been created or altered by AI.
The editors of People obviously don’t care if there are AI generated anomalies in the images they post and publish. It is difficult to accept any image, whether from our government, foreign governments, the legacy media, or alternative media, as being not doctored.
The Real Brits, God Bless.
No extra arms or hands.
Looks like his sister’s right arm.
I’m seeing 5 people and 10 hands - just the right number
Besides, why would they need/want to fake a photo? It serves zero purpose. Even if their public image of a happy family was a complete fraud, they don’t need to issue a photo
So what’s the penalty for “Illegal use of hands” in a family photo???
All kidding aside, I don’t see the extra hand. The hands all appear to be attached to arms, which in turn are attached to bodies.
“”Looks like his sister’s right arm.””
YES...
Handist! Handophobe? I don't know, I'm new at this.
+1 👍
I only count 10 hands.
Exactly
Thanks for the ping! Hope this couple goes the distance, since they are well-like and admired among their people, and that William can influence some constructive sociopolitical renewal in UK.
I read recently that he has taken an increased interest in Christianity. Yes, Lord—speak to him.
I SEE LOUIE’S LEFT HAND & HIS MOTHER’S RIGHT ARM. LINKED TOGETHER
NOTHING UNUSUAL
“There is an extra hand on Louis’ left side. “
No their isn’t. Can you count to 10? You are allowed to use your fingers or toes.
That’s his sister’s right arm. He’s not holding anyone’s hand in his left hand. Her arm and hand is laying along on the grass.
