Prince William and Princess Kate marked their 14th wedding anniversary Tuesday with a rare joint appearance on Mull and Iona, their first major public trip since the princess’s cancer treatment.
Prince William and Catherine marked their 14th wedding anniversary on Tuesday with a two-day visit to Scotland’s Isles of Mull and Iona—their highest-profile outing together this year.
The Prince of Wales, who married Kate Middleton on 29 April 2011 in a globally watched ceremony at Westminster Abbey, first met his future wife a decade earlier at the University of St Andrews.
Rather than celebrate at home, the couple travelled to the Inner Hebrides, beginning in Tobermory on Mull. Smiling and waving to onlookers as a bagpiper played, they toured a community hub before browsing an artisan market, chatting with stallholders and posing for photographs.
British media say they will spend their anniversary night in a secluded self-catering cottage on Mull, famed for its dramatic scenery.
The trip is a rare joint appearance since Catherine underwent preventive chemotherapy for cancer, from which she is now in remission. They share three children: Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 7.
“Scotland holds an incredibly special place in my heart,” William, who also bears the title Lord of the Isles, said in 2021. “George, Charlotte and Louis already know how dear Scotland is to both of us, and we’re sure they’ll grow up sharing that bond.”
