A year ago, people around the world watched with interest the live broadcast of one of the most beautiful weddings - the marriage of Prince William and his beloved Catherine Middleton. And a year later, on April 29, 2012, the couple celebrated their first anniversary of marriage.
The wedding of William and Kate, held April 29, 2011 in Westminster Abbey, overshadowed all the world news, gathering more than two billion viewers on the TV screen. And in London itself, a 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: the 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 with an official visit and a charity mission. Together they planted trees, learned to draw at a painting master class and visited hospitals.
In addition, Kate was engaged in charitable activities, visiting organizations sponsored by the royal family and attracting the necessary interest in them, and Prince William took part in the rescue of Russian sailors from the Svolend cargo ship sunk off the coast of Wales. In addition, he served two months in the Falkland Islands, where he currently serves as the pilot of the rescue helicopter of the Royal Air Force.
It is not surprising that after such an eventful year they celebrated their anniversary at home, in a close family circle. That day, only close relatives attended the dinner, including Queen Elizabeth and her husband, William's father, Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, Harry's brother, wife Michael and Carol Middleton, and sister Kate - Pippa. And the next day, from the early 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.
