Hello there, royal enthusiasts It’s Lady Jane here, and today we’re diving into the latest and most heartwarming news about our beloved Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
As we speak, Kate and her dashing husband, Prince William, are celebrating a milestone that warms the heart of every royal fan: their 14th wedding anniversary. And what better way to mark this special day than with a trip back to where it all began – Scotland? Yes, you heard that right; the couple is spending their anniversary on the picturesque Isle of Mull, a place that holds a very special significance for them. It was at St. Andrews University in Scotland where these two first met and fell in love.
This anniversary is particularly poignant, especially given the challenges Kate has faced recently. After a courageous battle with cancer, Kate is now in her official remission, and this trip is a celebration of not just their marriage but also her health and resilience. Royal expert Jennie Bond aptly put it: "Their first anniversary after Catherine’s official remission has to be that extra bit special," highlighting how every milestone takes them further away from the difficult days of her diagnosis[5].
Their love story, though not without its bumps – including a brief split in 2007 – has only grown stronger over the years. The foundation of their marriage is built on a deep and enduring friendship, forged during their university days. This bond has been a constant source of strength for them, especially as they navigate the complexities of royal life.
Kate and William’s love for the outdoors is well-documented. In a 2020 podcast, Kate shared that her favorite moments with her family are spent "outside in the country, and we're all filthy dirty." William, too, has expressed his passion for the countryside and farming, recently telling a group from the Scottish Association of Young Farmers Clubs about his love for the area and the need for support in understanding the resources available[4].
This trip to Scotland is more than just a romantic getaway; it’s a return to their roots and a celebration of their shared love for nature. According to Debbie Frank, Princess Diana’s astrologer, Kate is embarking on a "meaningful personal journey" in 2025, one that involves a deeper connection with nature and her spiritual side. Frank notes that Kate’s Capricorn sun sign and Cancer moon make her particularly grounded and emotionally connected to the natural world, which she finds rejuvenating[3].
As they spend these two days on the Isle of Mull, surrounded by the beauty of Scotland, Kate and William are not just celebrating their marriage but also their commitment to each other and to their family. Their children, whose privacy they guard fiercely, are a significant part of this journey. The couple’s mutual affection and hands-on parenting – with William being a much more involved dad than his predecessors – are testaments to the strong foundation of their relationship.
So here’s to Kate and William: may their 14th anniversary be just the beginning of many more years filled with love, laughter, and the beauty of the great outdoors. Cheers to the future of the monarchy, and to the enduring love of this royal couple
