A year ago, people around the world watched with interest a live broadcast of one of the most beautiful weddings - the wedding of Prince William and his beloved Catherine Middleton. A year later, on April 29, 2012, the couple celebrated their first anniversary of marriage.
The wedding of William and Kate, held on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey, overshadowed all world news, gathering more than two billion TV viewers. And in London itself, the royal wedding was celebrated by about one and a half million people. And this is not surprising, because the story of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is more like a fairy tale: Hive is the crown prince, and Catherine is a simple girl from a poor family.
Over the next year, the newlyweds participated in many social events: balls and dinners, horse races, weddings of family members and acquaintances, royal ceremonies, as well as foreign trips on an official visit and a charitable mission. They planted trees together, learned to paint in a painting workshop, and visited hospitals.
In addition, Kate was involved in charitable activities, visiting and attracting the necessary interest to the organizations patronized by the royal family, and Prince William took part in rescuing Russian sailors from the Svolend dry cargo ship that sank off the coast of Wales. In addition, he served for two months in the Falkland Islands, where he is currently serving as a Royal Air Force rescue helicopter pilot.
It is not surprising that after such an eventful year, they celebrated their anniversary at home, in a close family circle. On this day, the dinner was attended only by close relatives, among whom were Queen Elizabeth with her husband, William's father Prince Charles with his wife Camilla, brother Harry, wife Michael and Carol Middleton and sister Kate - Pippa. And the next day, early in the morning, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went to the wedding of their school friend Kate, where they surprised all the guests and employees of the restaurant with their simple and modesty.
