Prince William, Kate Middleton marked ‘fairytale romance’ with their wedding

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding in 2011 meant the beginning of a new era, as an expert.

The Prince and Prince of Wales who are celebrating 15 years of their marriage today, sent a glimmer of Hope amongst Britain’s with their wedding festivities.

“It was the most perfect, magnificent day, a real show of the best of Britain,” recalls royal commentator Richard Palmer.

He tells Mirror: “Many people really felt like they knew William and Kate as individuals, and while the popularity of the royal family had fluctuated over Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, the wedding between William and Kate really heralded a new era for the monarchy, and showcased the family at its very best.

“There was such an upsurge in interest in the royals at the time of their engagement, and this was the moment people wanted to see. They were a young and glamorous couple, and I think William being Princess Diana ’s son also added to the emotion of the day for many people.”

Meanwhile, Royal expert Katie Nichols says: “It was an absolutely momentous day.”

“We had this lovely young woman marrying a prince, who she happened to meet and fall in love with at university, and it felt like the entire nation was invested in this fairy-tale royal romance. The whole day was beautiful. Her dress, the ceremony, the carriage procession from the Abbey back to Buckingham Palace… It was full of magical moments.”
