The Prince and Princess of Wales will mark their 14th wedding anniversary next week, and Kensington Palace has shared details about the couple’s plans for the day.
Prince William and Kate will travel to the Scottish Isles on Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th April, to celebrate and connect with rural island communities.
On their actual wedding anniversary on 29 April, the couple will visit the town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, where they will pop into a local community hub and tour an artisan market.
The Waleses, who are known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, will also go to a local croft to learn about sustainable farming and hospitality on the island.
It’s fitting that William and Kate will be in Scotland for their anniversary, as that’s where they first met at the University of St Andrews in 2001.

“During their visit to the Scottish Isles, Their Royal Highnesses will spend time with members of the local community reflecting on the power of social connection and the importance of protecting and championing the natural environment, two subjects which are close to both of Their Royal Highnesses’ hearts,” Kensington Palace said ahead of the visit.
Anniversary photo
Last year, the palace released a previously unseen portrait from William and Kate’s royal wedding in 2011.
The black and white image showed the newlyweds beaming at the camera, with Kate in her Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen bridal gown and veil and William standing with his hand around his wife’s waist.
The surprise photograph came just weeks after the Princess revealed she had begun treatment following a cancer diagnosis. Kate, who is in remission from the disease, has been making a gradual return to her royal duties in recent months.

After the monarch’s death in September 2022, they became known as the Prince and Princess of Wales.
William and Kate welcomed their first child, Prince George, in 2013, followed by Princess Charlotte two years later and Prince Louis in 2018.
