How Kate Middleton and Prince William Spent their First Anniversary

How Kate Middleton and Prince William Spent their First Anniversary

A year after the world witnessed Kate Middleton and Prince William's wedding, it was the couple’s turn to attend the wedding of a close friend, but not without being unnoticed.

The royal couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary by attending the marriage of Kate's close school friend, Hannah Gillingham. Paparazzi were able to take pictures of the Duchess, her Prince and her sister Pippa in their umbrellas on the way to the Suffolk church. Kate wore the Erdam Navy lace dress she first debuted last summer on her North American tour. This time, she wore it with a gold-buckle belt, but was overall simply-dressed enough not to steal people’s attention from the bride.

The couple sat in the front of the church.  Accordingly, lots of people congratulated them on their first anniversary, but they seemed oblivious and quite keen not to take any attention away from the bride and groom.

After the event, the couple either stayed overnight and attended a wedding brunch or went home early Saturday night.

What every publication seems to agree on is that the couple spent their Sunday afternoon in total privacy at their farmhouse cottage in Anglesey, Wales. The couple is believed to be dining a home-cooked fish en papillote (in parchment) in honor of what's known as a "paper" anniversary.

So that was it. After weeks as a trending topic, the royal anniversary was no different than the average weekend for most couples. No hot air balloons, no re-doing of vows and no serenades with a five-piece orchestra.
