Prince William and Duchess Kate Celebrate 13th Wedding Anniversary with Unseen Wedding Photo

Prince William and Duchess Kate (the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) marked their 13th wedding anniversary by sharing an unreleased wedding photo, sparking intrigue among royal enthusiasts.

In the newly revealed wedding picture, a detail caught the attention of many: Prince William is wearing a different uniform from the one he wore on their wedding day in 2011, while Kate remains in the same wedding gown.

Speculation arose regarding the discrepancy. Could there be a mistake? Is the newly released photo truly from William and Kate’s wedding day? According to Christopher Andersen, a royal expert, in a conversation with US Magazine, William and Kate carefully considered the photo they shared, indicating that it holds special significance rather than being a mistake.

Indeed, during the wedding ceremony, Prince William wore the red and black uniform of the Irish Guards, a title bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II. However, in the newly released black and white wedding photo, William is dressed in the uniform of the Blues and Royals, a regiment of the Household Cavalry of the British Army – the oldest and most prestigious cavalry regiment in the British Army. This indicates that now, the person wearing the Irish Guards uniform is not William but Kate. In 2022, King Charles made a change, allowing Kate to inherit that title from her husband. On their wedding day, William primarily wore the red and black uniform, but there were moments when he switched to the Blues and Royals uniform, although those images were less publicized.

The revelation of the unseen wedding photo has sparked discussions among royal watchers, highlighting the intricacies of royal traditions and titles within the British monarchy. As William and Kate continue their journey together, their 13th wedding anniversary serves as a moment to reflect on their enduring love and shared milestones.
