The pair wed in July 2008 at Queen's Chapel, St James' Palace, with Lady Rose dazzling in  the Iveagh Tiara, which was gifted to Queen Mary and worn by Rose's mum.

Numerous royals were on the guestlist, including Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, Peter and his ex-wife Autumn Phillips.

Princess Kate was also in attendance, four years before her own royal wedding, but was solo as William was practising disaster relief in the Caribbean. 

The Princess of Wales beamed as she held her star-studded Christmas celebrations at Westminster Abbey on Friday, in the most poignant carol service yet amid her cancer diagnosis.

The Princess said at last year’s carol service she “didn’t know” what 2024 had in store for her, as she spoke to singer Paloma Faith.

The artist, who performed during the festivities, expressed sympathy for the princess, who this year underwent chemotherapy.

Kate confessed: “I didn’t know this time last year it was going to be the year I’ve just had.”

The princess, who married Prince William in 2011 and attended the late Queen’s funeral in 2022 at the abbey, also told how the building held “so many memories” for her.

The royal was admitted to The London Clinic for major abdominal surgery in January this year, before bravely announcing her cancer diagnosis in March.
