“I went bright red and sort of scuttled off”: Prince William and Princess Catherine’s iconic romance – in their own word
Their romance reads like a real-life fairytale – from their fateful meeting at university to their incredible wedding on April 29, 2011, and of course their three gorgeous children.
On the 29th of April, Prince William and Duchess Catherine’s relationship takes another exciting turn to mark their 10th wedding anniversary.
Despite the pressure of their royal roles, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have always managed to put their young family first.
As they ring in the exciting milestone, we relive their best quotes of all time…
Ten years on and three babies later, the couple are still having a ball!
On their engagement
“We had a little private time away together with some friends and I just decided that it was the right time really. We had been talking about marriage for a while so it wasn’t a massively big surprise. I took her up somewhere nice in Kenya and I proposed,” William said.
“It was very romantic. There’s a true romantic in there,” Kate added.
On their extravagant wedding at Westminster Abbey in London
“It was supposed to be a small family affair,” Prince William joked to father-in-law Michael Middleton as he gave his daughter away.
On Catherine’s sense of humour
“She’s got a really naughty sense of humour, which kind of helps me because I’ve got a really dry sense of humour,” the Duke of Cambridge pointed out.
“When I first met Kate I knew there was something very special about her!”
The Cambridge clan are incredibly close.
On raising their children and the struggles of parenthood
“Catherine and I are clear that we want both George and Charlotte to grow up feeling able to talk about their emotions and feelings,” the Prince once told CALMzine.
“It is lonely at times. You do feel quite isolated. But actually so many other mothers are going through exactly what you’re going through. But it’s being brave enough, like you obviously were, to reach out,” Catherine said of the challenges of motherhood.
On their festival wish-list
“I’ve talked about going to Glastonbury before because I do love my music and Catherine as well. I’ve got into enough trouble with my dancing recently. So it’s probably best to stay away from that one,” William joked on Radio 1.
The gorgeous duo beamed with excitement when they announced their engagement in 2010.
On how they unwind together
Although they don’t watch The Crown, the couple love bingeing on box sets like Game Of Thrones and Homeland “once the kiddies are in bed.”
They also love ordering in. “It’s a real conundrum when it comes to it – pizza, curry or Chinese,” William quipped to Catherine during their Radio 1 chat. “You do struggle for choice,” Kate teased back. “I’m not so good with the spicy food,” the Duke explained.
