It is very special. What an honour to be able to wear it.

Kate and William celebrate wedding anniversary

The comments came as Kate and Prince William celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary.

The Prince and Princess of Wales tied the knot on April 29 in 2011. They now share sons Prince George, nine, Prince Louis, five, and daughter Princess Charlotte, seven.

Speaking about their relationship, the body language expert Darren Stanton said on behalf of Betfair Bingo that Kate and Will have a spark in their relationship.

He said: “I have analysed hundreds of hours of footage of Kate Middleton and Prince William over the course of my career. And, in terms of the couple’s body language, they are definitely one of the strongest couples – if not the strongest out of all of the royal family.”

Darren added: “Although they never initially displayed signs of public affection, there has always been a genuine spark between them. During the early stages of their relationship when Kate would attend William’s polo matches, they had a very mischievous element to their relationship and clearly shared the same sense of humour.”

King’s coronation

The royal family will be gathering together next week Saturday (May 6) to celebrate King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation.

Prince Harry will be returning to the United Kingdom to celebrate the day. However, Meghan Markle will be staying in California due to it being the same day as their son Prince Archie’s birthday.

A statement from Buckingham Palace said: “Buckingham Palace is pleased to confirm that The Duke of Sussex will attend the Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey on 6th May. The Duchess of Sussex will remain in California with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”

Prince Harry’s children were recently granted royal titles due to their grandfather becoming King. A statement from Archewell said: “The children’s titles have been a birthright since their grandfather became Monarch. This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace.”
