The wedding of Prince William and Princess Kate on April 29, 2011, at Westminster Abbey remains a memorable occasion. Watched by approximately 17.6 million people worldwide, the ceremony saw Kate arrive in a Sarah Burton by Alexander McQueen satin and lace gown.
William's reaction to seeing his bride was captured, whispering, "You look beautiful." He also shared a lighthearted remark with his father-in-law, Michael Middleton, playfully calling the royal wedding a "small family affair."
The guest list comprised 1,900 attendees, including Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, dignitaries, and celebrities. Following the ceremony, the couple traveled to Buckingham Palace in the 1902 State Landau, appearing on the balcony for two kisses and a flypast.
Wedding cake designer Fiona Cairns reflected on the event, describing it as "surreal" to be surrounded by famous guests. She recalled Kate's clear vision for the cake, emphasizing the couple's desire for a "family wedding" at its heart, despite the global scale.
William and Kate were known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge until September 2022, after which they became the Prince and Princess of Wales following Queen Elizabeth II's passing.
